My Baby Isn't Pooping Daily, Is It Normal? - Dr. Satyapriya Sahoo

[00:00:00]Parents do ask me, "Doctor, my baby is passing a lot of stools and multiple episodes, or my baby is not passing stool for 3 to 4 days. Is it normal?" I answer them, "Yes, it is absolutely normal." Multiple episodes of stool, if it is happening and if your baby is active, alert, baby is passing more than five times urine, and baby is not dull, there is no excessive sleepiness, this 10 to 12 episodes of loose stool per day >> [music] >> is normal. That is due to maybe gastrocolic reflex. Again, on contrary, [music] my baby is having constipation. If your baby is passing stool every 4 to 5 days or 6 to 7 days, that is also normal. This may happen with your baby. So, don't rush, don't give any sort of laxative for your baby in this inability to pass stool. Baby eventually will pass stool within 5 to 6 days. So, don't [music] worry for all these two things what I mentioned now.

[00:01:08]Thank you.
