Is your baby breastfed or formula fed? When they have a bowel movement, is it soft? hard? difficult to pass? When was the last movement? Will help to anwser more directly.
if your baby is breastfed, it's normal for babies not to have a bowel movement for up to 7 - 10 days. This is because breast milk has very little waste compared to formula. But when the baby does have a bowel movement, watch out!! It's not uncommon for diaper explosions! I mean like all the way up the back - calls for an immediate bath!! but this is all normal with breast feeding. I freeked out with my 1st! If the baby is formula fed, i'd consult your pediatrician soon!
Some breastfed babies can even go longer without having a bowel movement. Amazing that they can go that long. And yes its so true amarie47!!! Been here a few times. =P
karo syrup in her bottles, and give her a warm bath.
