I guess I should have done something earlier but the baby looks fine even though it’s been three weeks since my baby’s last bowel movement. I mean, it eats normally and there hasn’t been any stomach swelling or something similar. Should I be worried? What should I do? Please, I could use some advice.

You did not say how old your baby is but still, whatever the age, three weeks are simply too much. I think you should take her to the doctor immediately and explain what is going on. As far as I know ten days without defecation is the absolute maximum. More than that is an alarm sign!

You most definitly should get your baby to his Pedi. 3 weeks with out a BM is not good at all. Baby may have a blockage of some kind. Don't try any of grannies home remedys either.
