Not pooped

At 5 days, I’d call and ask. Tho as stated, BF babies take longer. Do bicycles and maybe a rectal thermometer. Massage the tummy to try to decompress a little and stretch his body out.
Thank you, I think I’ll give them a call tomorrow, we’ve been doing the massages etc but nothing yet but I know it’s normal I just hate it 😂😂
My lo is the same at 3 weeks old today. I’m combination feeding with bf formula powder and ready made and we had poop every 2 days then a full 5 days then a 1.5 days. So just keeping an eye on it now .
Did you manage to sort your appointment? Also I'm not sure if you're pumping and giving a bottle, but you could give some premade formula now and again when he's struggling to poo. My HV advised me to try this if my LG goes days without pooing
Breastfeeding babies can longer without pooing but I'd maybe give your gp a call if you're worried. Re:the appointment, if it's with the health visitor, I'd try and find your local team's number or call the postnatal ward to ask for it as they may have it x
