Infacol creates constipation?

I haven’t found that it cause’s constipation. It’s more likely to be coincidence

I asked the HV/pharmacist and they told me it can’t cause constipation xx

No idea on your question but… Constipation is not, not pooping. How often they poo can be once in 7 days, or 7 times in one day. This would be normal so long as your baby is happy and well.

Constipation is when your babies poo is hard and dry, making it difficult to poo. Number of poos is not critical at this age but if your baby seems to have pain when trying to poo or has a very hard, dry poo, then I would reach out for advice from HV.

Thank you lovely ladies for sharing the info 🤗🤗🤗

Just wondering why you are giving them infacol if they are EBF? I thought it was to help with gas that can be mostly caused by being bottle fed? Is there another benefit to it?

Breast feed babies do also get air trapped this is what i have learnt from the health advisor.
Some days he cries like anything and we fail to know the cause. From last 3 days he is fine after having infacol

But it is just today he didn’t poop though he was putting pressure to poop and making his face red but it didn’t happen.
Thats why i was lil worried

And we all know the health care system here.

Blessed to have this group and guidance of all u lovely ladies

And also he is spitting a lot of milk

: amazing, a lot of info i got from you. Thank you so much. It’s great to know about chiropractic and breastfeeding group which I didn’t know before.

I have also heard about Gripe water.

I have no idea what your problem is but you need to calm down. It’s not me asking the question. The poor lass just asked for some advice and i’ve given her it 🤷🏼‍♀️ She asked if Infacol give babies constipation and it does. EBF babies CAN get constipated if wind is trapped for awhile - not hard pellets just poo built up where they can’t push it out them selves. I know this because I spoke to a medical professional aka A DOCTOR AND MY MIDWIFE. Also on the NHS link I put on it does say that EBF babies RARELY gets constipated not that it dosn’t happen.

if your worried please speak to a DR instead coz people seem to think they are DRs and give wrong advice x
