How do i assist my 2 week prem baby to pass a stool? she hasnt passed a stool for 3 days and is very uncomfortable
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does she need to ?: If on a diet of breast milk an infant can go a week between stools & then pass a soft one.They have poor muscle tone & often use their breathing muscle to push & fuss in the process.If the kid is making pellets you can grease up the outlet with petroleum jelly on a Q-tip & insert it the distance of the bud.This will often trigger a stool. Pressure under their belly button can help milk it out.
