Is your baby going days without a poo? You’re not alone. Many parents are told by their GP that up to 14 days without a bowel movement is normal.
But let’s be honest, how would you feel if you didn’t poop for two weeks?
Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s ideal.
Constipation in babies can happen for a number of reasons – an immature digestive system, changes in formula, the start of weaning, or even tension in the body that affects how well the nerves communicate with the gut.
Signs your baby might be constipated include hard, dry stools, straining, bloated tummies, and excessive gas or fussiness.
Even if they are still going occasionally, those signs are worth paying attention to.
Gentle chiropractic care, especially techniques like cranial work and SOT, can help relieve tension in the spine and pelvis, supporting the nervous system and helping digestion work more smoothly.
Many parents notice their babies settle, relax, and start pooing more regularly and comfortably after just a few visits.
Your baby deserves to feel calm, comfortable, and at ease, and sometimes they just need a little support to help them feel their best.
