My one month old baby hasnt pooped in 2 days s there anything i could do or give him to help him poop?

May not be necessary: If your baby is breastfed and feeding well, urinating normally, and acting well, it can be normal to skip a few days before stooling. If your baby is formula fed, it is a little less usual to skip days, but can still happen. Generally, it would be recommmended to wait. However if your baby seems uncomfortable, not feeding, urinating less, or you are concerned, you should see your pediatrician.
