4 week old baby has not passed a stool in 24 hours?

Normal: This is very normal and common. As long as the baby is eating well (breast-feeding or bottle feeding) and having plenty of wet diapers, this is not a problem. If the baby is very uncomfortable and it lasts 3-5 days, you can give some extra water and make sure if you are nursing, that you keep up with drinking enough fluids yourself. If it goes on longer, please speak to your baby’s doctor.

Common: Breast fed babies can poo a little every feed or a big blow out once a week.If soft, it is normal. Most formula fed kids will get into a several daily or every other day pattern.If the kid is passing rabit pellet/dry poop an ounce of full strength prune juice 1-3 x/d spread out will soften poop within 3 days.
