A member asked:

My 3 months old formula and breastfed does not poo sometimes for 4 days and cries of discomfort. i don't give her water. what can i do to avoid gas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

She is normal: It can be normal for an infant not to have a bowel movement for 3-4 days at a time. As long as it is soft, not hard, when it comes out. And as long as she is gaining weight normally. As long as she is not vomiting regularly. You can keep her elevated, massage her tummy down, bicycle her legs, put her in warm water...these can help. Burp her more regularly. Gas drops sometimes help.
