Question
my 1 month old has not gone for a poo in 6 days now, she is breast feed, i am geting worried?? please help

Answer
Is the baby having wet diapers? if the baby is having wet diapers and is doing well, and gaining weight, then I am sure all is well. If not, then you need to get to the doctor asap. If he doesnt go soon, then you should take him in to have him checked by the doctor.
