Don't worry. My one used to not poop for 4 days! We find he pooped better when he wore trousers/pants (if you're American!). I didn't read that in the help books lol. Also a rainbow motion under his belly button area sometimes works.

When they get older and especially if they’re breastfed they can take a week to poop! My daughter is 3 months and she hasn’t pooped in 4 days and it’s totally normal talking to doctors and health visitor!

Don’t be nervous. My new born didn’t poop for 7 days took her to the ER and she was fine. They massaged her stomach and took a rectal temp and the stimulation from the rectal temperature probe made her go. They told me it’s normal for them to go a while without poop. And she did the same thing again when 8 days and finally poop again. They told me I didn’t have to come back again UNLESS her stomach was hard, unexplainable fever, lethargy

24 hours! Absolutely nothing to be worried about

Very normal! My girl is on BM and poops every 3 days. If they don’t seem in pain / breastfed, it’s normal. Formula can make babies constipated so if that’s the case, monitor if they are in pain.
