Do I need to bring my toddler to see a doctor if she is on formula milk and has not pooped for 3 days?

Thank you Dr Ethan,

Absolutely agree with your comprehensive answer.

To add on:

  1. Breast Milk tends to be the best for children.
  2. There is a difference between foremilk (the first portion) and the hindmilk (the last portions).
  3. If your child is having difficulty passing, you can try giving more foremilk.

Certainly a visit to the PD/GP will be great as well to make sure we are not missing something serious.
