Mylicon Drops (spelling)

Can these cause constipation in infants?? My baby girl hasn't pooped since last night and I had given those to her the night b4 and last night. Shes only a week and a half old. I know this is the pregnancy form but it helped me so much during my pregnancy so...

Its perfectly fine for a baby not to poop for a few days.

Put a little dark Caro syrup with some formula in a bottle it will help her go, that's what they say to do with little ones
