Newborn tummy ache

Hi

My newborn is now 13 days old (born 3 weeks early, weighing 5lbs 10oz). She is bottle fed and after initially filling her nappy fine and regularly, she now hasn't done a poo for approx 4 days. We can tell she has bad tummy ache from the way she holds herself when sleeping and we have tried different types of baby massage to relieve it but nothing is working. She is still wetting her nappy regularly and feeding fine.

We saw the GP after she hadn't filled it for 24hrs and she sent us to A&E as a precaution, but they checked her out and said she was just fine. 3 days later she still hasn't done a poo and we are getting worried.

We will call the GP again today. Just wondered if anyone had anything similar? She is our first baby.

Didn't have a non pooer but did have one with bad tummy issues. Just to say we did the colic massage and apparently it can take up to two weeks of doing it a few times a day to help. I did find it really helped if I persisted with doing it approx five times a day.
