I have a constipated baby or so I think. its very small no fur eyes closed and I can get him to pee but no poop I have tried qtips with warm water tissue and vassaline and im not sure whats going wrong he went a little tiny bit last light at 4am and that was it im scared to feed him anymore until he goes.

I am feeding fox valley and I havent picked up any yogurt but I have benebac I dont know if anyone has ever heard of it but a rehabber near me told me to use that instead of yogurt?

If he is a new baby he may just not have eaten enough yet to eliminate. Sometimes these little ones who have been without mom for a while take a couple days to produce any poops. If he is not bloated I would continue to feed and stimulate as normal and I bet he goes soon.
