Bowel and Bladder Movements:No poop since more than 48 hours
2006-11-18
Name: preevek



Hi,

My newborn is just 6 days old. His birth weight is 2.3 Kg. I just got discharged from hospital, it was NVD for me and he is on BM no formula milk.

I wanted to ask that he ias not passed stool since more than 48 hours this time. When he was in hospital it was fine he did few times. Now passing urine is fine (around 5/6 times a day) and he is getting BM also properly. What could be the reason for this ? We use only cotton nappies for him.

TIA,
Preevek

as to what i see :
if suddenly a bf baby has stopped passing bowels it means you might had some food in your diet that he might not be comfortable with,,and this has caused this..
check on diet, try to have light food and try having some spinach soup,,since you are bf, i expect him to pass bowels after that if at all constpatn is a problem,
one cannot rule out one pssbility when it comes to newborn 6 days old,,unless examination is done properly.
if you see ne signs of :
1.baby stopped crying and not responding.
2.baby turning blue, or reddish blue or greenish,,,visit your dr once.
3. if baby breathng is not proper and you doubt it,,check with your dr.
4. baby refuses to feed,nd cries even after changng of diapr,a good bath or remains fussy for longer hours,,dont wait for my reply.
5.if the meconium was not cleared by the time this happend, thn your dr needs to be seen by your dr immediatly.dont wait for myreply.
6. if meconium has cleared and its thn that this happnd, thn try to latch your baby more often and see if he is able to pass the bowels.
7. give a light pressure around his naval and if at all your baby seems to be uncomfortable with your action,,he needs to be checked by your dr, ,,dont wait for me..
8.you are bf,so try drinking lots of water, fresh vegie soup with fibr(avoid spices),,,and see if works good.

thats all i can as of now,,ne further problem persist, please check with your dr, immediatly,,dont wait for my reply !

RE:Baby cries while passing urine - Hetal pls advice
At the same time the child is feeling some pain So try to understand and consult a doctor.... - sharmasanvi [View Message]
RE:bowel movement in 2 week old infant
Some babies go through phases when they either can't use the muscles to empty their bowels or they "forget how to". In that case, it's safest keep using the suppositories daily to make them do a dirty in 5 minutes.... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:where can I get laxative?
You can get either glycerin or bisacodyl suppositories in any Indian pharmacy - I recommend saving money by not buying child-size ones, instead cutting adult supps in half to make a child-size dosage.
(I have a daughter with long-term bowel issues: she can't "do" without them!)... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:constipation
When the baby is in discomfort from constipation (especially if she hasn't done some dirty for two days or more), the first thing you should give is a glycerin suppository.... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:hi
Most doctors say banana doesn't help - the potassium in it makes constipation worse. Remember you can make your own prune puree in a blender. Grape, grapefruit and papaya are also laxative fruits. And remember you can safely use baby suppositories as often as you need to (they also help with "training" the baby to do a dirty at the same time every day)... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:Baby Movements/Development
Consult a good doctor immediately as this should not be ignored as it will cause a big issue if you let it go now, please seek doctors advice on immediate basis.... - Aditi [View Message]
RE:Baby Movements/Development
Hi there please be calm and relax as it happens sometime the child takes little time to start walking or crawling also but in your case the child should have started crawling if not walking.... - Anita [View Message]
