How long is long for constipation in a 10mo baby before I bring her to see the PD. Today is the fourth day baby hasn't popped and this is the first time. Previously her poo is hard but she still poos everyday or every other day although she has to squeeze hard. But this time she doesn't even really squeeze, it is as if she doesn't feel stomach pain or urge to poo at all. I give her probiotics drops everyday already. And her diet consists of mostly veggies and sweet potatoes. I have also given her yoghurt this week to help her poo but she still did not. Also tried tummy massage but still no use . Any advice

Oh dear. I think u need to really up up the water intake. I think u can wait a couple of days more and try some massage. Massage stomach in a circular motion (if baby is facing u, it's clockwise direction for ur hands) after baths and after eating (rest a while). Can also try to massage/stroke the tailbone in an top to tail end motion

I add a dash of water to everything. Fm I will put 10ml more water. Whatever purée, I also add a few dashes of water more. I also give water via sippy cup a few times during the meal
