Starting on the 17th Jan, she stopped having bowel movements and her stomach was like a balloon. so after a couple days I called the hospital and was advised to give her water and wait 4 days to see if she poos. I didn't give her water but she did a massive poop explosion in the early morning on 20th Jan. I thought things would be normal again but she hasn't pooped since then. she is sleeping normal and feeding A LOT more (which makes me think maybe its a growth spurt and she's just retaining all the nutrients so not pooping?) and she is weeing as normal and she farts a lot. Her stomach doesn't look as ballooned as before though.
Is she constipated? What should I do? Is this normal?
I will call the hospital tomorrow as it would be 4 day without pooping but thought i'd ask here, see if I can avoid unnecessary trip to A+E if it's nothing.
She's breastfed.
