Concerned mom

Hope
My friend just had her baby this past Wednesday, however she is concerned that her son hasnt had a bowel movement at all today. He eats 2-3 hours and only pees. Should she be concerned? Or is it normal? I don't have children so I have no idea 😒. I'm not much help in this topic.

It can be completely normal, but I would call you the ped to have it noted. I remember my lo not pooping much at all the first few weeks, which is normal especially if breastfed

A breast feed child can go 5-7 days without a BM

If breastfeeded it's common and nothing to worry. If formula feeded: have a call with a midwife or a pediatric!

She should call her childs dr if she is breastfeeding it can be normal for breast babies not to poop every day or every 2 days because the milk is being dissolved into the body and there is usually little to nothing left over in waster like with formula but always if any concerns on call nurses and making appt to take the baby in are your best bets if she feels unsure

She needs to call a pediatrician. Tell her don't give him anything until discussing with his doctor.

It's ok. She may need to do a suppository if he doesn't go tomorrow.
