8 week old - constipation - any advice?

Tiny bit of boiled water x

Thank you girly, will have to give it a try x

Lactulose every other day. Had to do it with my first for a couple weeks. My second has CMPA and is on gaviscon which made it worse…ended up needs suppository

My baby was the same, a warm bath, tummy massage, and if that didn’t work a small bit of boiled water

@Lara I’ve tried all of that and still nothing 😢 I’ve got a doctor’s appointment again now tomorrow. Hopefully they can figure something out

@Sophie how long did you give your little one lactulose for? I was prescribed Gaviscon for her but was then told by a different doctor to not give it to her as she’s not a sicky baby, etc, she doesn’t feel the need for my baby to have it. I’m so stressed about it all! She went yesterday after not going for 3 days and it was very runny and dark green… I’ve tried giving her honey water and still, nothing. I’ve got the doctors tomorrow so I’m hoping they figure something out

Yea the gaviscon will make them constipated. I did it for a couple weeks. Then just gave it to him when I felt necessary. With my second now I gave it to him once a day for 3 days and he went. Now I’ve stopped the gaviscon to see how he got on, the reflux hasn’t been anywhere near as bad so I’ve stopped it altogether and he’s been going everyday. Honestly it’s a lifesaver, they only need 1.5ml at this age. It also helped me after my c section x

What formula is your LO on? My LG wasn’t going regularly and I was then giving her drops and cooled boiled water but it never really helped in the end I changed her formula and she started going everyday. X

I did tummy massage, knees to the belly. Good luck x

Water and a bath helped my little boy x
