If you are worried, take him to the dr.. I would prefer to go to the dr and be told there is nothing wrong instead of stressing..
When our DD was about 2 weeks old, she hadn't done a poo for about 4 days and I was worried and made a dr's appointment.. We ended up being late to the dr cause she did a massive exploso one as we were walking out the door..
thanks guys, yeah he is exclusive formula, and he is really unsettled im holding him now and he is groaning and straining a docs appointment i think might be the way to go.
Hi Mellon
I think that a visit to the doctor is a good idea. However whilst you are waiting for your appointment try these tricks.
1 Lay your baby on his back and move his legs as if he is riding a bicycle, do this for about 10 minutes or so a few times a day
2 Wet the corner of a face washer, nappy or towel. Stroke his anus with the wet corner 6-12 times a few times a day.
You can do both of these tricks together.
One last thing. Make sure that when you mix the formula you are mixing the correct amount of powder and water.
