A member asked:

My 45 day old baby isnt able to poop spontaneously,she passed her meconium immediately after birth n did poop herself after that about 2 times?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly GI consult: What do you mean by "poop spontaneously". Do you use a finger or thermometer to induce pooping? Although it is good she passed meconium right away and had normal BM's the first day, it is possible to still have a GI abnormality like Hirschprung's disease. Bring it up with the pediatrician and consider a GI consult
