Please advise. My baby is one month old and hasn't had a bowel movement in 2-3 days. This has happened a few times before, and then he would have a normal, abundant bowel movement. We tried an enema once, which helped, but yesterday it didn't work, and he still hasn't gone. Today marks the fourth day. When we saw the doctor, he said this is normal for breastfed babies.

That's correct. However, if the child isn't bothered by it, then there's no issue.

It's normal during breastfeeding, but if the delay exceeds 4 days and there are signs of discomfort or bloating, please call emergency services or try a gentle enema. Monitor your baby's behavior, as hypotonia or constipation may occur. If you have any doubts, consult another doctor or a gastroenterologist.

Please avoid using enemas. It's completely normal to have bowel movements at this age. Your digestive system will adapt naturally. Using enemas may cause more harm than good.

I'm not sure if it's normal, but my friends always go every day, or at most three days.

It's normal if the child is calm. During breastfeeding and at the daycare, my older child would have a bowel movement every two days, and the younger one every three days. Over time, things became more regular. There's no need to torment them with enemas. Calm? Eating? Sleeping? That means everything is digesting well and he's doing fine.

That's completely normal. No need for any enema! It means your baby is absorbing breast milk well.

I experienced the same thing with my daughter while she was breastfeeding! My gastroenterologist told me it’s normal, as long as it doesn’t bother the baby too much. If it lasted more than four days, I would give her a suppository. Later, I started keeping a notebook to track when she had a bowel movement, and over time, everything improved. 😊 Don’t worry!

If the child is calm, that is normal.

Breastfeeding is going well, no need for an enema.

I used a gas relief tube because I was feeling very uncomfortable by the fourth day.
