Dirty nappy - help

Hi, my little boy Finn was bron at 33 weeks and we now have him home. Little bit worried as he has not had a bowel movement in 24 hours. Should I be worried? Any advice?

Thanks

HI sazzle congratulations on your little boy. How old is he now and is he being breast or formula fed? I wouldn't worry yet, as long as he's feeding ok and having plenty of wet nappies and doesn't appear to be in discomfort xx

thanks so much, sorry should of mentioned those things. Finn is 2 weeks old tomorrow, and is now being formula fed after a week and a half of breast milk. Lots of wet nappies though xx

If he's just changed to formula it might be him just adjusting to the new milk so I wouldn't worry yet, hopefully he'll go at some point today. If he continues to struggle to go or becomes constipated over the next few days then you could look at the milk and maybe change to a different one but i'm sure it will be fine when he gets used to it, formula fed babies can often just have one poo every day or slightly less they are all different xx
