2 week old constipated?

Question

My 2 week old hasn’t had a full nappy for a few days it’s just like little balls? She isnt in pain although she does struggle and fuss and go red in the face straining trying to have a bm but other than that she’s fine still drinking and having wet nappies. Is there anything I can do to help her

Answer

Hard balls of poo at this age definitely mean constipation. Call her doctor. 😊

Answer

Is it solid?  I’d definitely call the doctor if the BM is hard. It should be loose and seedy if your breast feeding 🤱

Answer

For my son and daughter id take a clean q tip put a lot of Vaseline on it, put it in their butt slowly and diagonally just the cotton part. 
The next day they should use the bathroom. Sometimes with small babies they don’t know how to push and they need a but of assistance. Don’t be afraid to do it, it definitely helps them feel better. My pediatrician recommended it.
