Severely constipated

Hi, our baby has not yet started cows milk, nor formula - yet she is going through the same kind of struggle, even with Lactulose :(
How much milk? Sounds like water intake needs to increase, try offering high water content fruit and veg, perhaps make a smoothie out of it. Constipation is a tricky one and I'd probably stick to formula for another month or so if you didn't have this issue then. Alternatively milk alternatives with a multivitamin. Good luck !
Our baby struggled with constipation too - it's SO SAD to watch them struggle. Doctor prescribed Macrogol so now she has a sachet of that every morning and we've had no issues since 🙏🏼
Hi all. Thank you for your comments. I have consulted the HV in our area and basically they suggested we have him too much milk. He was having 22 ounces a day 😮💨 so yesterday I reduced it to just 12 and thank goodness today he had a NORMAL bowl habit after a long two weeks of struggles!
Hi, we haven’t been through it and I’m really sorry for your struggle x have u considered swapping cows milk to plant based one? I’ve been reading about how much more difficult it is for babies to digest cows milk protein and this being a reason for constipation. Could be something worth considering, hopefully it eases off soon x
