A member asked:
My 4 week old son has not pooped since yesterday afternoon, he seems very uncomfortable and has been crying most of today. is he constipated? and what can i do to help him?

Hard to say: At that age a breast fed baby can poop a smear every feed or a diaper filler once a week. If it is soft when they go it is not constipation. Formula or mix fed babies go more consistently but pattern can vary. An infant has flabby belly muscles & often must use their fussing/breathing muscles to push food along.
