Peeing and Pooping in Newborns: Is it normal or not? When to worry? Dr. Kristine Alba Kiat

[@johnjeybalatong6965]

Such a relief to hear it from you doc and as well read the comments of other mom. Thank you.

[@angelvargas5000]

Hello Doc. I hope you'll notice this. I'm first time mom of a baby boy. My baby is only four days old but he hasn't peed for the past 24 hours. He doen't have fever. He peed and pooed twice a day during his first day.

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

Please let your pediatrician know about it. If baby is active and stable, he should be fine.

[@loise8676]

My baby is 6 days old and hasn’t poop since yesterday til now .. She is mix fed should i worry doc ? Im so worried 😥

[@chimamadachidinmajanefranc7622]

Am a first time mom. Please explain more, my baby boy had foot oedema after circumcision, what was the cause

[@tinacapinig5911]

Doc is it normal, that my 6 days baby poop like 3x a day? He is a formula fed

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

Formula-fed babies typically poop three to four times a day, but some go as long as three or four days without a bowel movement. As long as your baby's poops are soft and passed without a struggle, you don't have to be concerned. But call your pediatrician if your little one doesn't poop for more than five days.

[@Adil_khans]

My baby is breastfed 6 days old not pooped from 2 days

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

breastfed babies will sometimes go several days, or even a week without having a poo (this is more common in babies aged 6 weeks or older). You'll quickly get used to your baby's bowel movements, so you'll be able to tell what's normal for them.

[@AlwaysA3]

My son is 3 weeks old, he’s formula fed since we can’t breast feed. He hasn’t pooped in 2 days. When should I be concerned? I’m starting to get anxious

[@lisarochester2978]

Boys can have pseudo menstruation too. What about haemorrhagic disease of the newborn, cause from vit k deficiency?

[@DrKristineKiat]

It is another possible cause.

[@lornalliano4328]

Hi Doc How are you po? Question po. Nung 2weeks pa lang c baby 6days syang hindi nagpo.poop then stinimulate ko na po sya gamit ang thermometer,after that akala ko everyday na sya magpoop pero 7 dyas na po d pa rin sya nagpoop kaya stinimulate ko na naman sya. Tapos ngayon pang 3 days nya naman po d pa rin nagpo.poop.😞 ok lang po ang re tal stimulation??

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

Have your child checked by a doctor.

[@vangiemariegatela5877]

same question here

[@josefearl8403]

Hello doc. I hope you will notice this. Is it normal for my 6 months old baby to pee 1-2 times evey night?

[@mitchellrorisang4045]

Mine also she is 6 months. She is not peeing enough..very worried

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

@@mitchellrorisang4045 Your child maybe dehydrated. Better have them checked by a doctor.

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

Though the diaper may not be as wet as usual, as long as your baby is peeing every 3 to 4 hours, there is no cause for concern. If your baby who is in the lactational stage does not pee for more than half a day, it is a cause for concern. Your baby may be suffering from dehydration.

[@joannglorioso9312]

Hi doc my baby not poops for 3days how can I do mam worried mommy here

[@rochellehernandez1352]

Hi doc! First time mom here, my baby is 12 days old today. I’ve noticed that yesterday he hasn’t poop yet and until today. he is formula fed. He’s tummy is not bloated and it is soft. Should I be worry? It’s the first time he hasn’t poop. Since birth. Thank you.

[@JonardBatucan]

[@DrKristineKiat]

At this age, it can be normal for formula fed babies to poop every 1 to 2 days or so.

[@annalousamut8812]

[@elumalai1857]

My baby is one week old . She is passing only three to four times a day.. is there any problem for her??

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

Sounds normal to me. If you're noticing something different, have them checked by a doctor.

[@cassidypotot2149]

My Baby is 1 month and 2weeks and she can't poop for 3

[@simonkamau6321]

Did you get the answer to this? Kindly? It's my concern for now.How did you deal with it?

[@DrKristineKiat]

Is your baby exclusively breastfeeding? If so, it can be normal at 6 weeks not to poop everyday

[@jesmarielopez7077]

It is normal for my 10 day old baby is screaming and crying in top of his little lungs almosr running out of air every time he wants to poop? I had 3 girls before I had my son and never went thru this.

[@raidahmangodatao3641]

Ilang beses po ba ang normal na pag poop ng new born baby.. ? 6days old palang siya. Breastfeed & Formula po siya.

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

usually 2-4 times a day.

[@Adil_khans]

My baby is 6 days old and not pooped from 2 days

[@Adil_khans]

Also having jaundice bilirubin 14.3 in her body she's peeing well but not pooping

[@nikitakekare2250]

Did you get answer for this same problem i m facing

[@rioracewell-dr.kristinekiatcom]

@@nikitakekare2250 Hi, Your newborn should have a bowel movement at least once a day during the first month. If they don't, call your doctor, as the baby may not be eating enough. After that, a formula-fed infant should have one at least one a day, but breastfed infants can go several days or even a week without one.

[@vangiemariegatela5877]

[@cookwithsabina8689]

[@DrKristineKiat]

It can be normal. But if you are worried and baby is acting differently, please have your baby checked by the doctor.

[@Adil_khans]

She does pee during the day (around 6 wet diapers)
