put a thermometer in his butt that’s what i was told it’ll relieve all of it and it’ll just come out that’s what i was told

It's possible that baby is learning how to poop on their own (up until now it's been a reflex). I would give him some more time. My girl also didn't poop for like 12 hours and then it all came at once and since then she's been regular. I wouldn't worry too much yet personally. Can always call your ped if you are tho

Anything up to 5 days is considered normal

It depended if they’re formula or breastfed breastfed could take like a week but at this age they could not be eating enough unless you’re pumping and see what they’re eating but if you’re doing formula then I’m not too sure just try to maybe run their belly try the bike kicking move after feeds but if you’re concerned pediatricians usually have a nurse line you could call too!

Mine didn't poop for 2 days. Contacted the pediatrician and was told if they are breastfed they can go 4-7 days without pooping from "complete absorption" of breast milk. I was shocked!!! Now he poops about every 4 days. The same color and consistency as before when he was going multiple times/day. Just make sure they don't seem in pain, bloated, or hard abdomen.

Thank you everyone for the advice I will try more stimulation techniques I recently started combination feeding, so I was a little nervous

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
