Constipation

My baby is 2 weeks old and is formula fed. Lately she’s been constipated and is really struggling to get anything out. When she does (once a day) it’s hard and like pellets. She pushes to try and get it out but only wind comes out ☹️ I’ve tried bicycle legs, massaging her tummy and going around her anus with a cotton bud but nothing seems to help. It’s starting to affect her sleep she’s gone from waking up every 4 hours to every hour and a half

My midwife advised me the other day that the remade milks you get have a bit of a laxative in them so it could be worth getting some in and maybe 1 or 2 feeds a day of the premade stuff

@Jasmine thank you! When she was born she was on the ready made bottles and we had no issues so that makes sense x

A little bit of boiled water? We gave my 3-4 week old a little bit of boiled water when she had pellets x

@Aimee we have tried this and it did work im just scared of giving her it so often so i havent haha thank you I will try it again tonight x

😂😂 no I know exactly what you mean! It took me a few days to even do it because I was scared! I only gave her like a teet worth x
