Hi, my nearly 7 month old son hasn't had a poo for 4 days now when he usually goes every day.  He has been eating and drinking the same as normal and doesn't appear to be in pain. He has, occasionally in the past, missed a day but never not been for this long.  Should I be worried?  Is there anything I can give him?  I've tried to give him more water as I thought he may be dehydrated but he won't take it!!

Thanks... 

Hi There

The best thing to try are pears/ and maybe just try a day of liquids and massage his tummy clockwise gently and bring the kness to the chest. I hope this helps if not I would call the doc as 4 days is long.

Good luck
