My breastfed newborn is constipated

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding my 2 week old baby and she’s had me up all night recently trying to poo. I’m sure that’s what it is as she gets so much relief when she finally poos. I was told that breastfed babies are rarely constipated so what am I doing wrong?! She’s so uncomfortable and she’s in so much pain...

Anyone’s toddler say their tummy is hurting almost everyday?

I see my toddler say his tummy is hurting almost every day and he presses his mid to upper belly area, and he soon does a poo and doesn’t mention it again. In the last 3 weeks his pops have been looser and more frequent. Nothing has changed with diet or otherwise but this is also when he started saying his tummy is ...

Advice with constipation

Hi everyone, my son is 2 weeks old and is suffering with constipation. It’s really making him unsettled. We can see he’s trying to poop but no luck. Anyone have any advice on what we can do to help him? We’ve tried tummy massages and the bicycle method but no luck 🥺🥺🥺

Accidentally had dairy

I’ve been dairy free for almost two months now. And have noticed a huge difference for my little boy. Anyhow for a split second today I forgot that I can’t be the human hoover that eats leftovers and has a bite of Greggs margarita pizza. I’m hoping it doesn’t flare my baby or irritate his stomach. He’s looking okay....

How often is everyone bathing their babies?

As above! And how old? And do you use soap? I keep seeing so much conflicting advice on this I’m intrigued. I’ll start, twice a week ish unless he’s had a big gross blow out😂 he’s 6 weeks. I’m just adding breast milk to the water atm then I massage coconut oil on after while he’s in his towel.

Constipated baby

He's only properly taken to solids in the last couple of weeks, and is now consistently eating three meals a day. We've also cut out 90% of day time breastfeeds (now nighttime only). Our new challenge is constipation! Tiny hard little pellets which seem to give him stomach ache and hurt to pass. Anyone else having...

Bath time/ shower time

Anyone else little one going through the same thing. My little girl is almost three and is hating having her hair washed in the bath or shower and has been going on for a couple of weeks. She has gone from loving it to hating it but will happily get in the bath and play just not have her hair washed. Is this a phase?

Wet farts

My baby is 15 days old and is exclusively breast fed. I'm concerned that for the past week or so he's been having small amounts of poo when he farts several times a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned and take him to the GP? He's still doing proper poos and pees and seems fine in himself Thank you
