I took my baby to hospital for the same thing and they basically said to leave it cause apparently there body’s are adjusting he was in so much pain he finally did go and he had blood in it where he was straining so much!! Was horrible I have changed he’s milk he is now 2 weeks and I’ve changed it I the cow gate comfort
thank you he is on cow and gate so thinking of changing to cow and gate comfort but don’t want to do it without the midwife saying we can we don’t see them until Wednesday but really want my baby out of pain he is still passing wind just doesnt seem to be pooing xx
