Our pedi said warm baths and gently trying to use a thermometer may help but it's normal as long as LO doesn't have a fever and isn't overly fussy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510997 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:16:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 510997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try home gripe water to get things moving. If that doesn't work, maybe some diluted apple juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510994 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:15:01 +0000 MarieJ 510994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I've been giving her gas drops, and while they help her release some gas, she still seems uncomfortable &amp; majorly fussy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510988 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:12:26 +0000 Weagle 510988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: Have you tried any gas drops or gripe water? That might ease the discomfort until she can poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510983 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:11:17 +0000 MarieJ 510983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: she's 9 weeks &amp; the gas is baking her uncomfortable, I believe. At first I was attributing her fussiness to her two month shots, but I really think its because of the gas &amp; the fact that she hasn't pooped in a week. I'm going to call the pedi tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510972 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:05:49 +0000 Weagle 510972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is she and is the gas making her uncomfortable? Around 3ish months their poop can slow considerably. The longest LO ever went was 13 days I think. Our ped said that as long as she's not fussy, uncomfortable, doesn't have a distended stomach or bloody/white poop, then everything is okay and it's unnecessary to "help" them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510968 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:04:53 +0000 MarieJ 510968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: wow 10 days? I know it's normal for EBF babies to go longer than formula babies but she's so fussy &amp; gassy. I think if she pooped she'd be normal again!</p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I've been taking her temp rectally since Monday when she got her two month vaccinations. Surprisingly, it hasn't stimulated anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510964 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:02:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 510964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's never gone longer than 3 days, but his pedi told us we could take his temperature rectally and that would usually stimulate and loosen everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510960 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:00:35 +0000 autumnlove 510960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My EBF baby didn't go for 10 days and didn't show discomfort until day 9. We took her to the Dr. who told us to give her diluted apple juice a few times a day. We gave LO some and it got her going.... lol!<br /> The Dr. told us it is common for EBF babies to have skip bowel movements! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-baby-hasnt-pooped-in-a-week#post-510952 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:57:54 +0000 MarieJ 510952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Should I be concerned? She hasn't pooped since last Thursday &amp; she's gassy, like incredibly gassy! Help! Is that normal? </p>
