Baby constipation!

Hey ladies. Any idea on how to get a baby to poo regular? My little girl goes days without having a poo but you can tell it irritates her and she gets really bad belly ache. But when she does poo it’s so thick. I think so myself no wonder she doesn’t poo and has to have help pooing cause it’s so thick! I spoke to the doctor and she had give her around about 2oz of cooled boiled water but my baby refuses the cooled boiled water. I just want to take the pain away for her😞 x

My daughter used to poo once every 4-5 days actually, but she had relatively normal poo consistency usually with the exception that there was sometimes a much harder chunk that seemed to precede it sometimes. We were on Cow & Gate, then changed to Kendamil and now eventually to HIPP Organic. It gradually improved to every second day and now once a day. HIPP organic apparently has probiotics in it, so that may have helped her.

My baby was the exact same… turns out he has a cows milk allergy!

He poops everyday now and he’s so much happier now he’s on pepti 1! I did have to beg the doctors for it though as they weren’t helpful neither were A&E they just kept saying he was being over fed. I had to be the one to figure out what was up with him :(

My baby is on cow and gate milk and has been since birth. She was okay pooing for the first couple days but the. Struggled ever since that. She’s now nearly 10 weeks so is been a rough 9ish weeks😞 x

I’d recommend going the doctors and asking to try the pepti 1 formula, they’ll give you a 2 weeks supply to try! My little boy was on cow and gate to start with too, but he use to scream in pain after bottles and just in general and he’d poo maybe twice a week max but it wasn’t like constipation because it wasn’t solid it was like thick thick paste.

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
