Sometimes babies DON’T poop #newbornbabytips #laboranddelivery #postpartumlife #newbaby #expecting

My newborn couldn't poop on his own for the first couple of weeks. And his tummy would hurt and he'd scream and our pediatrician would tell uz it was normal. No. It was not-he was miserable. We had to help him poop.

I had a lactation consultant swear up and down that this was a dangerous myth. So I was left not knowing who or what to believe.

How often do they typically pee?

Don't let anyone tell you they're an expert just cause they have a lot of kids. My 4th is 2 months and this is news to me. I knew babies didn't necessarily poop often, but a couple weeks ago, we were concerned that he wasn't pooping much. Thanks for the info!

I'm breastfeeding, my baby is 10 weeks, but she still pooping as often. Like 5 times a day, or maybe more..

I tried bringing up that my newborn (around 6 weeks) was screaming, red faced, straining every time she tried to poop, and was completely dismissed.

I wish I saw your channel a year ago. You have a lot of insightful information that is very helpful for new parents, or even parents who never had the experience. Thank you ❤️

My UBF babies always continue to poop multiple times a day but they are all big eaters. They are still (up to age 9) and that’s just how our family is. They are also all super tall.

My breastfed baby had way more poops than my formula babies 🤷🏻‍♀️

My son has gone poop at least 2 times a day since birth, and he is 3 now. Some people are born blessed

I’m not having anymore kids, that right was stolen from me. But you seem like such an amazing doctor. I had the best, Dr. Martindale. You remind me of her so much. You give amazing information to make it less scary. I have a compacted spine and epidural was best for me. Second doctor didn’t listen but that’s a different story for a different day. She was just a God send. You seem amazing. You’re helping so many mommas and mommas to be here. I wish we had the internet and support like this when I had my babies. 🩵

Hey! Kk is my nick name. 😁.

I don’t even have a kid but I follow you since it’s info I have never heard good job thank you

Laughs in almost 5 month old who has pooped three times this morning

Or it means they have a tongue tie and not getting enough milk.
My baby went from pooping once a week to pooping like 6 times a day at 9 weeks when her tie was finally fixed

Is this increased use of breastmilk maybe also related to why colic happens around this time? Our baby just started pooping less lately (8 weeks) and is much more uncomfortable and fussy :(

This girl on TikTok her baby didn’t poop for a week she took him to the hospital, they sent her home and like the next day he sadly passed away.. so when should we be concerned?

😂I guess I never grew out of it😅

I thought something was wrong 😅 She is breastfed. I was told she would poop a lot

I thought the average breast milk and formula were chemically identical? Why the difference then?

I had no idea breast fed babies poop less often 😮

I did bring it up with my pediatrician when I noticed my daughter was constipated and was crying and screaming from her stomach hurting her I told them I think she is constipated from the formula the pediatrician literally told me don't worry about it and it just give her Mylicon I said find discontinued they wouldn't let me switch her formula I switched her formula and all of a sudden she can poop and burp no mylicon needed.

They go a week?! I never knew this

When I was a baby all of my Dakotas were scared b I was pooping like once mabye twice a month 😂

Seeing this 2.5 years after having my baby and would like for this to be a regular conversation doctors have cause I didn’t know this and was at the dr every week bawling my eyes out cause my baby “constipated” 🤩

"ok youve had a baby" IVE NEVER HAD SEX, WHAT HAPPENED?

The newborn baby's gastric system is... Immature... I love that.

Or they have gas. But the poop needs to be normal

my son was born with lazy bowel and now at 28 and still has problems but with Metamucil he is a lot more regular but still has problems

Once a week! ???😮

Im not even pregnant yet but god im so happy im getting these videos! I wanna learn everything before I start my family!

Baby 1 pooped once in 7-10 days. Up to her hairline. Or right on the wall... Theres a lot of Pressure behind it 😂 baby 2 pooped daily. Sometimes twices. Cant remember any blowout on her. Both breastfeed. I hope baby 3 will be like baby 2 😂 well find out, i guess. 😂

My nephew was so constipated as a baby and toddler to the point that he would poop balls as big as an 8 ball and would stretch iut his colon. We would cry with him bc of how badly he would be hurting. We didnt know what to do. We gave him fiber friendly things and nothing worked. He eventually did get better but thru age not bc of what we gave him. I still feel bad bc seeing a baby in that pain sucks

The thing about those breast milk poos though - when they don’t poop for days and then suddenly let it all go in Costco it’s actually pretty impressive. 😂 EVERYONE knows. The poosplosion is EPIC. Are you even a parent if you haven’t left a trail behind you as you run for the bathroom (either to clean up vomit or to change a diaper)????

My baby went from nor al every few days of pooping to blowouts immediately with formula. Turns out she needed sensitive formula. I avoid dairy and did my entire pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding too. So her body was not used to it.

I'm so grateful my niblings are grown now. Conspitation was hell on Earth.

My both sons were breastfed exclusively for 7 months, haf notmal poops once or twice a day.
I don't think that pooping once a week is normal for any baby bc they allso have a shorter intestines than a fully grown human. Was this a misprint in the scenario or was I not aware of a true fact here?

This is HUGE 🤯 I always assumed having a baby in the home would mean 💩 diapers several times a day. 🤮

My kid was onced constipated so bad, that I had to help, so I was picking out what was poking form the backdoor 😐 it was stressful, but sigh of relief on kids face was worth it

My baby #2 was one of those poop-every-10-days babies, which was awesome days 1 thru 9. I had to plan to not leave the house on day 10 😂!

Once, it was day 10 and I had her dressed in this yellow fleece sleeper that had cute little cuffs and of course, enclosed feet. Well, cue the poop. She pooped and pooped, and I was nervous because no diaper had been invented that contained her. But what a happy surprise when I picked her up and her diaper seemed to be intact!

I carried her upstairs to change her, and to my horror, when I unzipped her sleeper, the ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE SLEEPER WAS FULL OF POOP! It was even between her toes. Only the cuffs held it in.

I thew out the sleeper

My doctors always told me the opposite - that breastfed babies poops more often and are less likely to get contisipated

Really old like 6 weeks 😂

My baby shrieks. Literally shreiks and grimace and make the mkst painful face ever before passsing gas. He hasnt pooped in a week. His gp says it's fine and gave us suppository. If any peds can help please do cuz our pediatrician wont ever recommend us to ped saying it's all normal and I am really concerned about my baby's health

This lsdy knows nothing 😊

does the food that mama eats also a factor of the baby's poop?

All the babies are constipated😂😂😂😂

This is the best explination I have found about this! My EBF baby stopped pooping daily at 3wks.

My baby is on breast milk and formula but pooping once a week is that normal

In the end it boils down to this…as always…if you have ANY concerns about your baby specifically always seek medical attention for them! This video is for informational purposes and so…it should not replace the advice of your most responsible health care provider ❤
