question for those who already have children

[MissJLJ]

I can't seem to find a forum for newborns or anything like that, sorry.   But my question is, how often should a two month old poop?  I feed him formula and breast milk.  He hasnt pooped since 530pm Tuesday and its 1240pm Thursday.   Should i worry that he may be constipated or is this normal for his age?

[MissJLJ]

Haha yea i figured that was just a typo!  

And it gives me some relief to know that its normal not to poop everyday. Thank you!!

I agree, my son would go 3-4 days easy without pooping at that age, still does sometimes, unless he seems uncomfortable don't stress. My doctor said if he did start looking uncomfortable try gas drops or a lubed rectal thermometer, sometimes that gets things moving.

As long as the baby don't seem to be in pain I wouldn't worry cause some babies don't poop every day (mine did) but a friend of mines daughter which was the same age as mine didn't go but every three days...just watch if the baby straines a lot or crys if that happens call the doc unless u feel u need to now...always go with ur gut cause u are the only one that knows what is best for ur child and don't ever let anyone tell u differant....congrats on ur little one.

Thank you ladies. He doesn't seem uncomfortable, he was a happy baby when he woke up, just talking away and kicking his legs lol. And he is still eating and sleeping like normal. I will check with his doctor just to be safe.

At around 2-3 months their digestive system matures more so they may poop less often and especially since u r giving formula(it can be constipating too) I wouldn't give a baby younger than 6 months plain water, its not advised by drs.  If your baby doesn't seem uncomfortable I wouldn't worry.  However if u feel unsure still I can always call ur dr. Good luck.

I wouldnt worry too much unless he seems uncomfortable. If he's struggling then maybe try giving some water (just a little) between feeds, it usually helps. My wee man only poops every second day and he certainly aint constipated! He can get it right up to his neck! lol

No.sweetie. if u feel like something is wrong then call.
I was 17 when i had my first and he went on 4 days with out poopin and i called the hospital and he said if ur brestfeedin sometimes they will go on for a whole week but not latrr than half. Goodluck

I would def give his pediatrician a call just to be on the safe side they can advise you if this is normal or not. Usually babies are eating sleepin peeing and pooping machines so I would call asap.
