My daughter hasn't had a bowel movement in three days. We started introducing solids at 5 months, so she should be going every day. I gave her a glycerin suppository tonight, but there's still no result. She isn't bothered by anything, and her tummy is soft. Am I panicking for nothing? What would you do in my place?
And how long did it take for your baby to sit up after mastering this position? Сегодня моя малышка попробовала борщ. Довольная прямо как удав. Съела всю порцию. Ну, не совсем наст…

No worries, if it's not a bother

My daughter also had constipation from 8 months old, but it didn't bother her. I would give her a suppository on the 4th day, and she would poop right away. Then I gave her Duphalac for a while, about a month, and she was fine with it, going every day. After that, everything normalized.

Lesechka Shihova Hmm. Well, if it doesn't bother you, maybe it can wait another day.
Otherwise - Microlax

Lesechka Shihova Yes, I think I'll take another look tomorrow. If it doesn't go away, I'll use Microlax tonight.

Lesechka Shihova I gave Miron a couple of times around this age, right when we started solids and he was having issues.

So the suppository didn't work. What would you do? Would you try another laxative?

or a suppository, or Microlax. Again, I don't wait that long. The head of surgery told me that a person, and especially a child, should have a bowel movement at least once a day.

Not having a bowel movement doesn't necessarily mean constipation. If nothing is bothering you, then everything is fine – your body is just absorbing everything. And if you try to induce a bowel movement, that can actually lead to constipation later on.

Tatyana My daughter went. And there were so many people, it was awful. So I think it's actually constipation
