5 months baby hasn't relieved himself for 2 days, should we be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: I would not worry. Breastfed babies can go up to 5 days with no stool because everything in what they take in is being utilized and there is no waste (formula fed babies up to 3 days). AS they get older and start eating pureed foods with a higher fiber content, they will have more stool. True constipation is when the stool is hard like pellets or clay.
