Question: Greetings , my baby is formula feeding and has not been pooping for 2 days. should i bring him to consultation? (Maggie)
Answer: If you are worried about constipation, let’s find out whether it is really the case. Is the abdomen always bloated, is he straining hard with hard stools and sometimes it caused some bleed? If he is otherwise well, feeding well with a comfortable tummy, and when he poop, the stools are of nice colour and texture, then it does not fulfill the true definition of constipation. You ought to confirm that your milk is constituted according to the instructions, and not given plain water. You may also consider changing milk, and also multi-strain probiotics to help you.
