12 day old constipated..,what to do?

Question

my baby usually has regular bowel movements...once everytime she eats, but today shes only had two bowel movements...what can you give a 12 day old??

Answer

She’s not constipated, they don’t do the same all the time, their tummies are still getting used to stuff, it’s something like 3 days before they are considered constipated.

Answer

Unless the consistency of the stool is like an adult (formed or hard) then she isn't constipated. Babies guts mature pretty rapidly in the first few months and their bowel movements change a lot.

Answer

My lo only has a dirty diaper once a day, but sometimes once every two days and our pediatrician said that was normal. I think it just depends on the baby
