Constipation

My daughter has been dealing with constipation. There seem to be two things that get her to poop… crying while having her diaper changed and a warm bath. I know it sounds horrible but maybe get him naked on the changing table and then let him cry out the poop. Otherwise perhaps a warm bath will help?

I just got him out of the bath and he’s been constantly farting so hopefully that helps😪

Are you breast feeding 🤱 or formula . When I feed my son breast milk he poops 💩 his farts stink so bad lol

Baby tummy massage techniques- YouTube them 😊

And try feeding a bit extra, that helped our girl go - if you are formula fed, you can try a pre-made bottle, they can have a small laxative effect.

At one month old, you can give them an ounce a day of apple, pear, or prune juice. I had the same issue with my little. This is what helped them.

Of course, ask your pediatrician if it’s okay first. There could be circumstances that exclude this for your baby.

A warm bath always does the trick for my LO. We also used baby probiotics and it helped.

You can try a mix of both gripe water and gas drops throughout the day. I also massage around the butt and bicycle kicks at diaper change.

I exclusively pump. He normally does really good pooping. It’s just these past couple days have been a real struggle😭

I’ll have to ask about this. Thank you.

My girl went almost two days without pooping and it made us so worried. We did tummy massage for gas, we gave warm baths and lots of bicycle kicks. We also gave her gas drops.
She dirtied 3 diapers in a row when she went!

If she doesn't go soon take her into a different doctor. Ours said 3 days is the limit and to take her in if she doesn't go by the 3rd day.

I know many moms won’t agree with this because it’s different but you can also try a windy from Frida mom. It’s scary if you never did it before but my baby was fussy and pushing to the point she would throw up instead and I did the windy and she pooped almost two diapers full with it. Sometimes they just need a bit of help since my pediatrician said that baby’s don’t have full control of their movements and some organs take longer to master and develop even after birth.

Hope the little ones gets the relief he needs
