2 month old constipated /not passing much gas

I've tried apple juice, leg kicks, tummy massage, pushes his legs up to his belly, tummy time, warm bathes (helped him pass some gas), warm belly wrap, gripe water. This isn't the first time he's had this problem. He's been constipated like this before. He was in so much discomfort that I resorted to using the Windi by Frida. It helped, but I can't rely on using the windi everytime this happens. Please help me help my baby! Any ideas/advice?

His pediatrician said to give him apple juice... it's been 4 days and nothing.

Get the mommy bliss constipation relief I know it says 6 months but I have my 2 month old like 1ml and she popped 5 mins later

Thank you! I actually bought that and returned it when I read 6 months and up! I'm going back for it first thing in the morning

That was a life saver for my baby mommy bliss is a really good product I have almost all their stuff for her even for my toddlers because it’s cheap organic and effective

Our baby had constipation issues for a while and we had to use suppositories. What we would do was get the child suppositories cut them in half and then in half again so it was very little, but it was just enough to stimulate her and she would go within minutes. We would do this every day until we felt that her belly wasn’t hard and she wasn’t struggling. we did also change her formula to a sensitive, tummy formula!

Symethicone and miralax is what my pediatrician recommended for my baby now he goes regularly and doesn't have the bad belly pain and struggles to poop.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
