My 6 weeks old LO did not pass motion for about 2 days. Not as frequent as she used to be. She seems alil cranky and not able to sleep peacefully too. Should i be worried about this?

Based on what my PD said, it is perfectly fine for babies on bm not to poo for a few days. The longest he had seen, was 7 days but that is a little too much. What I did was, I used a cotton butt (dabbed with baby oil) and put in and out of the anal. the poo will come out really quick so prepare baby liner.

Thanks tresa! Will try that.

Nope. It is normal for babies to poo every few days or so. She could be having colic, aside from being cranky how else does she act? They could also be overtired, babies at 6 weeks are constantly changing. We need to keep adapting.
