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.

Research baby foot massage for constipation it really helped my little girl x
