Hi all, I’ve come to mumsnet to try see if anyone has similar experiences, my newborn (3w2d old) hasn’t pooped for 3 days now, before that she went 2 days, and when she does go it is like a normal baby poop soft and yellow, this has been happening on and off since she was born, midwife wasn’t too concerned at first but today suggested we speak to the GP, which we did however after checking her there was nothing they could do until she’s a month old and said to just keep doing what we’re doing, and told us to call back tomorrow if she’s still not had one, she’s formula fed and on Kendamil, I’ve tried changing the way I make bottles (from prep machine to kettle/rapidcool) and we’ve given her a few of the ready made bottles as well as id heard that can help, as a new mum obviously I’m inexperienced and worried so wasn’t sure if anyone has had any similar experiences and can offer some advice, thank you 😊

Mine didn't poo much on SMA and CG, but seemed much better on Aptimil.
I would speak to a professional again, in your shoes, though I hd the passed from mw to GP thing.
