Hello everyone! A mom of a 4 day old baby is concerned that the baby has not stooled since she was born. She felt she never should have been discharged. Is this common ? The doctor prescribed a half a suppository (sp) and baby had a messy diaper up to her armpits but hasn't had one since. Baby is very sleepy and mom is really frazzled. I took her a pump and we discussed some rousing techniques all of which she has already tried-wascloth on the face, unwrapping baby(house quite warm), changing diaper, rubbing feet-back. I think the baby might just have a weak suck-she only goes on for about 5 min. then back to sleep. She's going to see a LC at the hospital tomorrow-I know her and am going to give her a call. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance(even though this sounds routine-I even experienced it myself and know how hard it is to get through) for any and all suggestions!!! Julie Miller, BC
