Constipated

My little girl who is two weeks old today hasn’t been for a number 2 💩 since Saturday. I will get on to the doctors in the morning but wondering if anyone has had similar and any recommendations of what might help her to go overnight? She had been going everyday multiple times a day prior to this. No changes to formula or anything she’s been on Kendamil since she was born Thanks x

Doing some tummy massages help, YouTube is great for visuals :) did you harvest any colostrum ? Xx

We have the same problem! He hasn’t been since Sunday, got given some lactulose & to feed the a bottle of the Kendamil ready feed formula and he went several times within an hour! The ready to feed has laxative in it I believe

If she’s on the classic Kendamil try the ready to feed ones if you haven’t already, they are thinner and often act as a natural laxative xx

No suggestions but my wee boy is 2 weeks today too and also formula fed & constipated. Wonder if there’s something about the 2 week mark!

Thank you everyone so helpful x

@Jade Yes so my older daughter got prescribed lactolose but was a little bit older. I tried asking the pharmacist today but she wanted her to be seen by a doctor before advising to give it. Glad you’ve said they do give it at this age cos I know it helped my first xx

My daughter is like this too. If they’re not in pain or struggling with it then don’t worry too much. We were recommended to feed pre made and it sometimes helps them go. But if she’s fine in herself then it’s nothing to worry about. Mine usually goes just when I’m contemplating going to the urgent care walk in centre for a suppository, she’s yet to get one 😂 it’s usually a mid night explosion too 🙈😫😴

Try giving him a warm bath! My LO was constipated last week and this helped him he’s now been fine since

The kendamil ready to feed bottles are great for getting them to poo !
