Anyone else’s babies not pooping?

Question

So Luna was born on August 2nd. She had a poop before she was born but thankfully none of it effected her. On the third my midwife gave her a suppository just to make sure everything worked and she wasn’t bundled up. She pooped 3 hrs later. They don’t know if it was the suppository or her regular poop schedule. Well. It’s been 5 days and still no poop. 
I’ve started gripe water (to help with gas and hiccups) so hoping that does something but I’m just wondering when you’re newborns pooped or how long they went without.

Answer

5 days? Id definitely call babys dr.

Answer

gripe water is good, also gas drops maybe. you can stick the tip of the thermometer with vaseline or diaper cream on the tip in her rectum and twirl it in a circle dont have to keep it in long at all just like you would be taking her temp.
she should go within 24 hrs. worked for me, my daughter was screaming awfully in so much pain i did this and it worked my ped told me about this. you should only use this method when absolutely necessary or they will become reliant on it though she had told me. so far so good, my girl is now regular. she is 4 months 😊

Answer

Is she breastfed? I kinda freaked out when my son didn't go for that long then my midwife let me know breastfed babies can go about 7 days and be just fine, assuming she doesn't seem uncomfortable

Answer
