My 6 week old daughter hasn't pooped in over 24 hrs?

Question

How long should I wait before I call the doctor?

Answer 1

as long as it doesnt seem like she is in discomfort or crying for an unusal amount of time she may very well be fine. Depending if she is bottle fed or not some baby go a couple days with no problems. I would say just too make you feel at ease, if something hasnt happened in another day to call her doctor. But as I said if something was really wrong you would know. As long as not bleeding or anything she is ok

Answer 2

Whenever you are worried about anything you should call your doctor, even if it isn't anything to worry about, they can give you the advice or information that you need.
Is your daughter still going pee? That is the major concern.
As for poops, it seems some babies go whenever they please. I breastfed my daughter and sometimes she would go 2 days without pooping. Now she is almost 6 months and is on a regular schedule where she goes every other day.
You also know your daughter better then anyone else, so you know how many times she regularly goes poop. Does she normally go 3 times a day and all of a sudden she stopped? Is she eating the same amount, any changes in her eating habits ect? If you are concerned you should call your doctor, they will most likely tell you that's normal but it's worth a shot.

Answer 3

confident, her schedule is definitely unusual. 3 feeds an afternoon of 9 one million/2 ouncesper feeding? it quite is a extensive quantity for her tiny tummy to hold at one time. Her entire formulation intake is likewise on the low end for her weight and age. Her weight earnings, except she became particularly small at start, on a similar time as ok, is likewise on the low area of universal. (An 'average' formulation fed infant this age could be around 5-6 pounds over her birthweight.) Will she not consume in case you furnish extra in many circumstances? you will not be able to stress her to consume, yet encouraging a extra customary schedule and somewhat extra meals average, if she'll take it, is probable a fit trend for her.

Answer 4

Not pooping isn't constipation, contrary to popular belief. If her stools are hard, then she's constipated. It's normal for some infants to go even a few days without pooping. Don't worry. If she doesn't go in the next few days, then call your doctor.

Answer 5

babies can go up to 3 days without pooping....my daughter used to do it when she was 4 weeks until i started her on rice cereal....if it lasts more than 3 days i would call or if u are really unsure call anywayz....if for nothing else to make u feel better....doctors expect new moms to call.....

Answer 6

wait another day. her digeastive system is maturing and she is processing her food better. But if it goes on for 48+ hrs she could have a problem. Have there been any changes in her feeding habits, or have you switched formula?

Answer 7

hi. sometimes bottle fed babies do not poo for a couple of days. I would get advice tomorrow though if she still hasnt pooed. Sometimes my son will not go for a couple of days then explode. He is 12 weeks old.
Good luck and I wouldnt worry yet. xx

Answer 8

if you are solely breast feeding your baby could go up to 10 days without going. try giving her a bottle of water with a bit of brown sugar in it. it worked for my son

Answer 9

You should call the hospital immediately to find out if you have to bring her in. This does not seem normal.
