is your baby breastfed? if he is, it's normal. they can not poo for a week. if baby is only a mth old and breastfed, I don't recommend giving water. breastmilk already consists of water. too much water can harm. u can bring to PD to check. my baby didn't poo for 1 week when she was breastfed, and once she does, it's poonami! hahahah
how old is your baby? my son didn't poo for about a week when he was about more than a month old. he was mostly breastfed so I was wondering why he didn't poo. but eventually when we saw a doctor, the doctor says it's normal but told us we can insert a small amount of suppository if we were concerned.
My mum say gripe water will work but I didn't give my girl before until recently. She's coming to 2 years. For your young girl, suggestion is see doc. Unless her digestion Super good which can be a possibility as well. Play safe see doc. :)
breastfed babies should poo everyday. my bb poo everyday only when formula fed. sometimes 3-4 days once. what I do is add a bit lesser formula powder than the recommended scoop. maybe too heaty and constipate.
Give a call to your pd's clinic to check. Total breast fed babies may not poo for more than a week, but I'm not sure if that's applicable to 1 month old baby too.
Let baby drink more water, do some tummy massage and feed fruits like prune or papaya. You can Google tummy massage for baby to see how it's done
Drink more water. If really worried, see doc. Doc will prescribe something to loosen stool. But more water will also help.
