No BM for third day

My baby has not pooped for the past two days and nothing yet today either. She is 1 month old, is it concerning enough to call the doctor?

Is your baby formula fed or breast fed? My HV said every other day is okay but when my little boy didn’t pass for almost 2 days, the midwife said over 48 hours give the GP a ring (however, he was on gaviscon that can cause constipation), hope she manages to pass 🤞

She is combi fed. I’ve tried massaging her and different positions to help her feel more comfortable but nothing as of yet.

Mine has the same problem, I might switch to a different formula. I'm not too worried as he still eats normally. Nothing wrong with calling as they could give more information

have you tried bathing her? The warm water may help?

I’ve used this massage technique now to help baby poo and both times I did it she pooed a few hours later https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFoTMtfux_T/?igsh=MXdhcWZ4Zno2cHljcQ== I also put some cream on her butt hole and massages that as recommended by a friend’s midwife!

@Kathryn I second this plus my doctors also added colostomy drops to her milk. Helped her go more regularly
