2 week old constipated?

Question

I have a baby boy that is 2 weeks and 2 days old. He isn’t pooping very much. Like once a day if that. He is formula fed and i use Similac Pro Sensitive. He hasn’t had a decreased appetite or anything. He just doesn’t poop. Should i call the pediatrician?

Answer

Normal for them not to poop for a few days even on formula - unless it’s hard solid poops when he does poop I’d call the PED

Answer

Multiple times a day, once a day, every few days, it's all normal as long as babe isn't in pain or passing hard pebbles.

Answer

Mine is formula fed and only poops once a day but Ive heard from other moms that the  pro sensitive seemed to make their babies constipated.

Answer

He pooped! Was not hard at all. Thanks so much for the advise! Love this app.

Answer

That’s plenty. My kids regularly went 3-5 days between bowel movements. As long as it’s not hard, it’s usually fine. 
Speak to the pediatrician with any concerns.

Answer

Formula is thick and can cause constipation, they can sometimes go days without pooping. Mine is almost 4 months and still only goes every 2-3 days.
