Feed him Maltsupex. It works every time, and is the un-constipator. -------- First thing to do is to consider the diet of the baby. There may be reasons that the baby is constipated. You can consider a teaspoon of cod liver oil and see what happens in 24 hours but if a baby goes more than 4 days without a bowel movement it is a medical emergency and they MUST be seen at a hospital as a matter of true urgency!

Should a newborn's stool be soft and not formed?

Yes, a newborn's stool should be soft and not formed. In the first few days of life, they typically pass meconium, which is dark and tarry, but as they begin to digest breast milk or formula, their stool becomes softer and more yellow or green. This soft consistency is normal and indicates that their digestive system is functioning properly. If a newborn has hard or formed stools, it may be a sign of constipation or other issues, and a pediatrician should be consulted.
