5 days no poop

Nikki

I’m getting worried that it’s been 5 days since my daughter pooped. She’s only been home from the NICU for 5 days and is 3 weeks old. She farts a ton but every time we check, it’s just gas. She’ll make faces like she is trying to poop, but no poop. I did research this, she isn’t all breast milk fed. She is 50/50 with formula. Same formula the NICU gave us. My mom suggested stick a rectal thermometer up her butt. Would that really help?
