A member asked:
My formula-fed, one month old hasn't had a bowel movement in two days. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: This can be very normal as long as there is no symptoms of vomitting in excess, very bloated belly and loss of appetite. Yellow to green vomitting needs evaluation immediately. Otherwise on can keep an eye on this. Use of a q tip or glass thermometer with vaseline can help in rectal stimulation.
