A member asked:

My 2 week old daughter has not had a bowl movement for about 5 hours and she seems like she's trying to push but all that happens is she farts, she seems like she is in pain. she pees only and it isn't that much. when should i be worried?

Basics: Breast fed babies can poop a small smear every feed or just fill a crib once a week. Formula kids poop more predictably. If it is soft when they go it is not constipation. Their belly muscles are flabby & soft & they are laying flat,so many must use their fussing/breathing muscles to push poop along. That makes their tummy hard so many assume they are in pain. Have her seen if you wish.
