Constipation

My baby is very constipated and poops once every few days. He gets very irritated and cry’s a lot at nights. Does anyone have any suggestions. I’ve tried massages, warm baths, feet massage and bicycles. Thanks

How old is your baby? My LO is 2months and a half and can sometimes spend 3 days without. It’s normal. As long as the poos are liquid as it should and the right colour it’s ok

If he's eating solids, 1000% try prunes! And plums, pairs and wholegrain. Also avoid/limit bananas, sweet potato+ avocados. Good luck, constipation is tough

Is he formula fed? That may be a problem. I remember my baby had this problem constantly

My little boy was like this to the point I went to the doctors and he got put on lactulose ... I've since changed his milk and he no longer needs the lactulose either so if he's formula fed it might be the milk. It is also normal for them to go every few days though too

Like Ellie recommends those fruits are great for getting things moving, I always give my daughter pear. If you're not on solids I always found the magic hold good for us, if you google it you'll see videos/pics of how to do it

My baby is 2 months and is formula fed he poops every 2-3 days Poos are very runny

Does it seem to be a problem, like is he more fussy until he poops, then happier?

Gripe water in every bottle is what I did, worked instantly! If it doesn’t cotton bud around baby’s little bum. (I know it sounds intrusive, but it does work. I used to do that when it got to day 3) x

@Susan yes very unsettles once he’s pooled he’s very joyful n bubbly

I went to the doctor and they’ve given him lactulose medicine
