My son used to do this and I was so worried but the straining and going red was him learning how to use his tummy muscles as they can’t actually strain and go to the toilet until about 3 months and his poop routine was every 3/4 days apparently it was very normal he’s 6 months now and goes every 2 days
My baby is constipated too! She can go roughly 5 days 😬 someone told me to try gripe juice (unfortunately I Can’t because my baby is in intensive care) but I’ve heard it’s good! We have tried belly massages and foot rubs and it seems to help with the strain x
I'm combined feeding her I've tried massaging her belly and the bicycle legs but she seems to fight the leg thing I did ask a midwife about gripe water but she sed no to it she was like definitely don't give her that everything has changed now but then pharmacy's sell it and would probably recommend it
Is she breastfed or formula x
