Would you take your baby to the DR if she hasnt had a good poop in 5-6 days?

Question

Shes very constipated. She poops little balls of hard poop and seems to be in so much pain to pass them. 
I tried prune juice, orange juice, apples for fibers, the pharmacist gave us a powder laxative but he said it can take 3-4 days to work but shes in do much pain… 
Her stomach is hard and i just dont know what to do

Answer

5-6 days without discomfort is normal for some kids, but with discomfort is not so yes I would go to the doc asap

Answer

Depends on how old babe is?

Answer

Depends on age and if there is any discomfort. My baby hasn’t pooped for 3 days. I’m definitely not calling the pediatrician. She’s not uncomfortable. She’s also breastfed. She’s almost 7 months old and not in solids (her choice), so no poop for several days is normal. 
If baby is straining and fussy and on solids, I’d give the dr a call for some advice. You may not have to actually be seen.

Answer

Have you tried apple juice? Apple juice and watermelon always worked for mine.

Answer

How old is she? If my LO hasn't pooped in 4 days I give her Pedi-Lax. It's a suppository but can't be used unless child is 2+ years of age. I also make sure to give her probiotics in her water everyday to help with constipation. Try blueberries, carrots, raisins, or even a smoothie of some sort with spinach in it.
