New Born and constipation

Quoting Meg ♥:" Why do you think she is constipated?"

Quoting Jennybananna:" This. Just because a baby goes a few days without pooping doesnt mean constipation. Are there other symptoms?"

Quoting :" Of course your baby's BM's will slow down after switching to formula. Breast milk is much easier to digest than formula."

Quoting Alyssa's mommy [EBFT]:" Actually its opposite... breast fed babies are supposed to poop a lot less than formula fed babies because most of the milk is digested leading to less waste."

Quoting Jennybananna:" This. Just because a baby goes a few days without pooping doesnt mean constipation. Are there other symptoms?"

Quoting Veronica m6:" you can try sticking a rectal thermometer in baby's bottom and that will sometimes stimulate the muscles ... [snip!] ... work, try 1tsp karo syrup in bottle..that should do the trick. >>> If the formula has added iron it will slow BMs."

Quoting Garen Michelle:" When should I be concerned about her lack of BM's?? I thought a couple days was a cause for concern. And what else could it be if its not constipation?"

Quoting Veronica m6:" Just mix the karo in with her milk. Also..if it is not constipation it could be her body adjusting to ... [snip!] ... her time to adjust. If it continues after a few weeks, doesn't regulate and the BMs get hard, then that is when I would worry."

Quoting Garen Michelle:" Thats just it tho, She didnt just switch, she has been supplementing with formula since she was born. ... [snip!] ... I guess I can at least wait til next week and see if anything happens, Her dr appt is Thursday thats a whole week away :/"

Quoting Veronica m6:" No no............ she should never go more than a few days w/o a bm. I was saying if it does not regulate in a few weeks then get worried."
