Newborn bowel movements is one such issue which the new parents find difficult to deal with. If this is your first time, then there is no dearth of unsolicited advice from 'experienced' friends and relatives regarding the number of times your baby should have her bowel movements. However, one must understand that every baby is unique and has a body that takes things at its own pace. The daily frequency of bowel movements of a newborn depends upon several factors such as, whether the baby is breast-fed or formula fed, water intake, diet of the breastfeeding mother, etc. Newborns may have bowel movements for even 8 to 15 times a day. However, it is completely normal if your baby just has one bowel movement, a day.

Bowel movements differ from person to person, although there are some stools that are never normal. Bowel movements are individual, and rather than one "normal" type of bowel movement that fits everyone, there is a spectrum of what would be considered in the range of normal. Instead, be on the lookout for any signs that a bowel movement is outside the personal range of normal, or that bowel movements have changed over time, and bring that up at a doctor's visit.

Re: Excessive gas & no bowel movements. Sounds like Irritable Bowel, I have the same problem. Personally the only thing that helps me is to take an herbal cleanse or a safe laxative like Senekot several times a week. I haven't found anything that has helped me naturally to go to the bathroom that doesn't involve a pill. Re: Excessive gas & no bowel movements. It can, but I usually take it at night before bed so when I wake up I have to go. Most fiber or laxatives cause you to cramp, which is not a great side effect, but it works, really well. Or you could try a stool softener, that may help without cramping, but in my case I need the senna to stimulate the bowel to move. But it defintely helps so im thinking its having irregular bowel movements. 03-13-2007, 09:22 AM. #8.
