My 8wk old baby hasnt pooped in 48 hours. she doesnt seem uncomfortable. shes formula fed and has plenty of wet nappies? should i be worried?

No need to worry: babies can take 2-3 days in between the poops. As long as they are taking the feeds, don't have fever and have no other sign of illness, they would be fine. You can use Karo syrup1- 2 teaspoonixed in formula once or twice daily as needed.
