question
Hi.I have a 7weeks old baby. He is on breastfeed and formula feed. He is not pooping from 5 days. His nurse suggested to give him apple juice but I'm afraid to give the little one fruit juices. Anybody tried giving juice to your babies. If we can give the juice how to give, directly or mixed with milk?

Hi mommy<br> Please avoid giving any thing other than breast milk, if you are advised to give top up feed then go ahead. Since you say the baby is on bottle feed too, chk with your pediatrician.

Please don't stress since no pooping happens even; for 5-6days. You have a fibre rich diet and feed him well.; Make sure he is not having gas. And NEVER give anything except BM before the baby is 6months.

Please drink lots of liquids like juices,soups , coconut pieces etc .that's what was suggested to me (enhances milk production)<u>when</u> I was BF my kid.no additional water /juice for such a small kid.

Dont give any juice before six months... My daughter too was on combination feed earlier n she too was not pooping for daily... She was pooping once in 2-3 day,, sometimes 4-5 days too... As neha said 7 to 10 days is also ok... If u concerned then check with paed but giving juice to such a small baby is not recommended at <u>all</u>

I am not sure why the nurse suggested apple juice!!! Please Do Not feed him anything. A breastfed baby can actually not poop even until ten days and that is perfectly normal! I am so glad u asked !!! Relax and keep feeding ur child. Why are u giving formula ?
