What are the symptoms of constipation for 2 mnt old baby?and how does constipated stool look like for baby?skipping 2 days in a week is constipation?

Constipation: is defined as less than 1 stool every 5 days. I can tell you from father as well as doctor experience that pooping is a skill that babies have to learn. At first, it will seem that they strain and struggle, but eventually they will figure it out. Breast fed babies usually get it sooner, but eventually, they all do. Hope this helps!
