Is it okay for a months old baby to not poop for a day
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A breastfed kid can have a smear every feed or a large stool once a week. If it is soft it is not constipation. If it is hard, you can use natural juices like full strength prune, 1 oz 1-3X/d spread out. This will loosen most kids in 3 days. You can reduce the dose & uses as needed after it settles.
