My 6 month old is constipated . no bowel movement in 3 days, he's not happy, not playing much, still breastfeeding on schedule. what can i do ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipated: The important thing to remember is that breast fed babies can go as long as a week without having a stool . This is considered normal for breast fed babies and not constipation.
