Constipation in babies is quite common. For a newborn, it’s important to note that the way they poop can swing between too often to too little or no poop. Some exclusively breastfed babies do not poop very often and it is assumed that this is because they digest almost all the breast milk they consume leaving them with little or no waste. I have also seen exclusively breastfed babies who poop after every meal.

When it comes to babies poop, the key thing is consistency. How has your baby’s poop been before now? I had a baby who did not poop for 2 weeks after birth, not even the meconium – now, that was really scary. It took the doctor’s examination to convince me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her that she must have passed the meconium right after delivery and just didn’t feel like pooping. Armed with the experience, I know better than to expect her to poop every day.

Another thing that you should understand very well is different kinds of poop babies pass and what their implications are.

Signs of constipation

Parents of constipated babies always complain of prolonged absence of poop and when the baby finally poops, rather than liquid, seedy, pasty stools, the constipated baby’s stool will be more like little clay balls.
