How long has your formula baby went comfortably without a poop?

Question

We are on day 3 with no poop. The last 2 poops were every other day and she had a hard time, they were a bit dry. Today is day 3. We have done warm bath, bicycles, rectal thermometer ... and of course today is thanksgiving and we will be gone all day.  
Nothing has changed in her diet. She eats 6oz every 2 1/2-3 hours

Answer

Mine has gone 4 days before, and the doc said it was okay as long as it wasn’t 4 days between every bowel movement, which it’s not... an average of 1-2 days

Answer

Try the Frieda windi. It’s a little tool that you coat in some coconut oil and then it goes into baby’s rectum a little ways and it’s hollow so it releases any trapped gas and gets things moving down there. We’ve used it about a half dozen times (mostly for major gas pains, but once for constipation and omg it was immediate relief). A box of 10 is like $10 at target.

Answer

My son usually will go 2-3 days. His dr suggested a qtip and Vaseline as well if hes constipated and told me not to give him anything else until he’s older

Answer

My pediatrician recommends a few ounces of pedialyte and then using a q-tip with Vaseline around rectum to get things moving. Worked for my little one!

Answer

If I may suggest something...if they are dry, give your baby some water. My baby is on Novalac SD since he turned 3 months. His first poo was dry...I started giving water and his poops are “normal” - also, my baby has always been on formula and breastmilk so he would go 3 to 4 days with no poo..after 4 days I’d give milk of magnesia for kids and he would poo

Answer

My guy was like clockwork, every morning at 7am but his formula was recalled so I had to switch him. Since the switch he easily goes 3-4 days without pooping, but theres no signs of constipation it is completely soft/liquid.
