Passing stool
My baby is 4 weeks on Tuesday. She hasn't had a poo for three days today being the third, she is combi fed with breast and then formula top up of 90ml she used to go once or twice a day, when should I be concerned????

The same for my LO. Since I started combi feeding she only goes once every 3-4 days. My HV says that’s more normal than going every day at her age but she’s always gassy and so uncomfortable. The nights are hardest where she’ll be crying and in constant discomfort. The only advice I’ve gotten is doing bicycle legs and tummy massages. Also that their stomach regulates more around 3 months.
Also combi feeding and debating on trying a comfort milk for the top ups. I know ready mades help them go as it was advised by our midwives x
@Sultana try infacol, my little one was the exact same and with a couple of days of using it just before a feed she’s a much happier baby

This happened to mine also! Went 84 hours! Pharmacy said to try proper tummy massage with warm olive/coconut oil and really go for it, leg exercises, an extra hot shot in the formula as just a one off for the warmth and water, extra breast milk, and we also used infacol for one feed, said if this doesn’t work after a few hours then call the gp, and it worked in time! Good luck x
