Yey! I'm a mommy!

Quick update: on the scheduled date of inducement (1/23) i started having contractions 2hrs before going to the hosp to check in. Needless to say i didnt get induceed! Thank God, 14 hrs later I'm a mommy of a beautiful baby girl!!! (gender was unknown until that moment) born at 19inch weighed 7.5. She is gorgeous!
Now for my question/concern. While at the hospital she pooped 2 times.. And now home she only pooped once. I got swollen feet, im thinking because shes being breast fed she's drinking more than my intake (but babie's bellies aren't that big) and although im breast feeding it's still only enzimes because i havent produced the actual milk yet (dc said it may take a few days) Baby seems fuzzy at times and passes gas mostly through the day. She hasbt pooped in 48hrs, Her tummy isn't hard.. But she cries into tantrums that scare me at times. (ftm) i want to help her poop and i read up on the Qtip trick, does it work? Should I try it?

Congratulations in the new baby girl!!
It's common for breastfed babies to not poop all the time it's ok if they don't for a few days actually. Ask your doctor about it :)

The q tip trick is when you put Vaseline on a q tip and gently swap your babies butt hole to make them poop

Ps. I did more research and it worked!  It took a few hours, but when i woke up she jad a poopie dipper! And pooped 2 more times today.

I recomend it. She's slept more easily and she's remained awake without crying.
