5 Week Old No Pooh

by Natalie Coverly
(London Uk)

I have a 5 week old baby and she hasn't had a pooh in 4 days, she is cramping and grunting a great deal and I have been breastfeeding. I know they say that breast fed babies can go for a few days without passing stools but she looks very uncomfortable. I have tried the bicycle riding with her legs and also massaging her tummy but nothing is working. She really isn't comfortable as she has previously been.

Chamomile Tea
by: Christine

When my child was that age, he had the same problem. My mother suggested giving him chamomile tea with a little bit of corn syrup in it. I gave him the tea at about the same temperature as a bottle, and he liked it. It cleared up his problem in a few hours.

I also have a baby and she's only 2 months old. When she gets this problem i take her feeding bottle and fill it with warm wate,a little bit more warm than her feeding milk and rub the bottle downwards on her abdomen a couple of times.
Then let her drink the water make sure its still warm,while she's drinking the water she will automatically poop.
