constiapted newborn?

Question

My son is a week and 3 days old. He hasn't pooped since 7 last night. I thought he did a couple times but everytime I change him it's just pee. He's acting now like he's trying to push but still nothing. He's formula fed. What can I do to help? :(

Answer

If he does poop take sample to the doctor if see their any blood so could be allergic to the formula.

Answer

I would try to switch to a homemade formula, in commercial formula usually the added iron will cause constipation and the milk protein will cause gas,reflux etc. Dr axe has a great coconut milk formula option u should consider.  When I told my ped about making my own she freaked and gave me 5 cans of Gerber lol I proceeded to make my own and all my son's stomach issues went away mimd u she continued to think he was on gerber the entire time he was on the hoemmade formula gaining perfectly so do what u feel is best your the mama!! Good luck 😄

Answer

They can go 5-7 days without poop, which to me is horrifying but ped says is ok.

Answer

Is he breastfed or formula ?

If he is breastfed, babies don't always poop as often... you can try to use a rectal thermometer to stimulate the anus.

Good luck
