Is he BF or FF? How long has it been since he last had a bowel movement?

Dip a q-tip in vaseline, and gently insert it into his rectum and gently swab around a bit in there to stimulate him to move his bowels.

uh, not to sound like whatever but i would just call a doctor?..........they seem to know what they are talking about.

Speaking from my son's exprience, PLEASE go to the pedi.

Aww poor little baby....That happened to my daughter alsobut it was because I switched her formula.

That's happened to Marlee tons of times. Call the doctor first. Most likely they'll recommend using Karo Syrup.

massage his belly, bike legs, stick a thermometer up his doody booty? that usually worked with my LO. oh and also make sure you massage the lower part of his belly. If you feel any little hard areas in there, then that's where he's having trouble. but mostly do it at the lower belly. massage around his booty hole as well (we used to call it the magic button lol) poor thing I feel so bad for him. my LO used to only poop like once a week and now she still only poops like 1 time a day

i went to the doc n he said that it is normal , that formula fed babies do that sometimes n that he will go when he wants , it sound stupid i dont want my son suffering he didnt help much

Go to a different doctor. Is his belly distended? Is he eating ok?

yea he is eating ok n his belly isnt hard , yesterday i was pushing his legs towards his belly n alot of poop came out i mean alot but he is whining alot i feel like he is uncomfortable

So, he did have a BM then? It's a good sign if his belly isn't hard. But if his belly is hard and if he spits up green (bile), please get to the ER then. Hopefully it should all be fine though.

completely off topic ... but Marlee was one of my girl-names i was considering before we found out that carmen was little boy #2. love it.

topic: try the vaseline qtip, some light karo syrup in a little bit of water in his bottle, or switching to a forumla that specifies that it's for babies with angry tummies.

I just wanted to say that the q tip idea work like a charm ! My son is feeling much better after two hours of crying that he was in pain! I changed his formla from liqued to power n I think that was what happen so thank you so much for this post n god bless

Kayro syrup is what I was told by both pediatricians for both my boys. It worked, they were both formula fed.
