@Erin my baby is only 2 weeks so Im not too sure if they would advise drinking anything. Yep, he’s been screaming, and kicking his legs all day. I’ll be registering baby at the GP tomorrow so I’ll try get an appt cause I can’t see him struggle like this everyday xx
Bless you I think it started around the same time with us! Is baby breast or formula fed? Hopefully it’s just their digestive system getting started and things will get better soon! I really feel your pain it was like torture watching my baby so upset😞 But yeah definitely speak to your GP and see what they say!! Xxx
@Erin he was breastfeeding but I started formula the last 2 days. Honestly it’s so horrible, im trying everything I can but seems like nothing helps! Thank you lovely xxx
In that case it could just be his body getting used to the change from breast milk to formula! Fingers crossed in a few days everything will settle🤞🏼 Hang in there 💛
@Erin thank you lovely 🤍
People will advise you to try bicycle legs, warm baths and tummy massages but unfortunately none of that worked for me. You could try speaking to your HV, some times they suggest giving baby little bits of cooled boiled water. Someone suggested to me a small amount of pure fruit juice too but I can’t say I tried that. When my little one was newborn she struggled with her bowels terrible! She would scream in discomfort for hours and it’s heartbreaking. When she used to pass a motion it was never hard, so she was never ‘constipated’ she just struggled to actually ‘push it out’. Eventually after weeks of it I went to my GP and she was put on a laxative everyday until she was a 4.5 months old and I started to wean her off of it. Hopefully it won’t get to that for you but please if you’re concerned push your GP for help. Xx
