Is It Normal for a Baby to Not Poop for Two Days?

Question

Is it normal if a baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for two days and keeps feeling like they need to go but can’t?

Answer

According to your description, your baby is two months old and hasn’t had a bowel movement for two days, and they keep feeling the urge to go but can’t. This is not normal and may be a sign of constipation. Constipation can be caused by poor diet, indigestion, or weak constitution. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics, ensure they drink plenty of water, and gently rub the baby’s abdomen to help with bowel movements.
