Constipation

Has anyone else had issues with constipation with their little one? I’ve tried the laxatives he’s had a scan came back clear and still no help. He can hold his stool in for days and days sometimes up to a week! Has anyone’s baby had the same thing ?

How important is it to burp your newborn?

I have a 7 week old and he’s not a very big burper. He’s MOSTLY breastfed, but takes 1 bottle of formula in the evening. He sleeps about 2.5 hour stretches, at the most at night. Sometimes I suspect that he would sleep longer if he wasn’t gassy. And he wouldn’t be gassy if he’d burp more.

Do any of you incorporate prune juice daily? I feel like ever since starting solids my little one has hard poops all the time. I give her prune juice when needed but just wondering do any of you give prune juice like once daily or something?

Need advice please 😫

So about 2/3 days ago my little girl (she’s 21 months) woke up one morning and had thrown up curdled milk (she still has cows milk) and then she’s had runny poos also. She is refusing to eat meals but will happily eat snacky food like melty sticks, mini cheddars and mini sausage rolls. I was just wondering if anyo...

Constipation

Hi, looking for some advice. My 3 MO seems to have become constipated out of the blue. No changes to formula etc, we have increased his omeprazole so not sure if that’s doing it but it’s hard / pebble like so definitely constipated! Is there anything you can do to soften stools at this age? Thanks

Flying

Is anyone not vaccinating? If so, have you or will you still fly with baby? We started with delayed, but I’m not sure I want to continue. I’ve been very uneasy about it but we have many trips coming up and I’m nervous about LO being on a plane. This is very new to me. Everyone I know is fully vaccinated so it’s a ...

Yellow bit in spit up

My boy was on his tummy and burped, this spit up came up with a yellow streak which I have not seen before. Called GP but they can’t see us or do anything until tomorrow… Anyone had this before? I will call 111 just in case I think.
