Baby Health

Baby breathing noises are common in newborns due to small airways and developing lungs. Most sounds, like snuffling or mild congestion, are normal, but laboured breathing or chest pulling in may need medical attention.

A baby not pooping can be normal depending on age, feeding type, and overall well-being. Breastfed babies may go several days without stool, while formula-fed babies usually pass stool more regularly. However, hard stools, pain, vomiting, or a bloated tummy may indicate constipation or another issue that needs attention. This guide helps parents understand normal bowel patterns, causes of delayed stools, and warning signs.

In some cases, reduced feeding may signal dehydration or illness that needs medical attention.
