My 12 day old daughter hasn't had a bowl movement in 4 days. The last one she had was on aug 3 and the day before she did not go either. She does have 8 wet diapers,,,, I 've try giving her sugar water but no help....Did not work. My wife breast feeds her and we do give her formula for supplement as well..She doesn't act cranky or anything however I did notice her rectum being very dry white skin. Please advice

If in doubt, get her chcked out, this is a baby we are talking about, they cannot tell you what is wrong, it could be minor, but it could be something serious, just because a baby does not act sick does not mean she is not. Please do not get me wrong, I am not jumping you, I am no Dr. It could be that mothers milk is not enough, or it could be missing something in it , you might need to use a supplement for a while or medication. At least call the dr on call and see what he suggeset untill you can get in and see your regular doc or baby doc.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you find out.

Tryapple juice a little bit watterd down. And you have to do it a few times before it works most of the time, but apple juice really works! And if not go to the doc. And have her checked out! You can write me if you need to talk, vent, or advice!!
