Hi,

Its quite common for infants not having motion for 3-4 days. If he is not having significant abdominal distension / repeated vomiting / excessive crying, and feeding as usual, nothing to worry. He will pass motion in the coming days. In such cases, if above mentioned symptoms are present, after ruling out structural obstruction by abdominal examination and sometimes an X-ray, I used to give bisacodyl suppository 1-2 times and further workup if symptom recur or persist.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
