It’s totally normal. It will get better. Do you offer your LO some water with their solids? My LB has a tum tum cup. Great to get him used to using a cup and also helps the poop 😊

Yup my LO can do 2-3 days without pooping and I know she's struggling as trying to push. Currently on day 2

how long did you find it took to get better?

Avatar

Yep! He's going 3 days at the moment without pooping and getting so uncomfortable and upset with it.

after a couple weeks. Have you tried water?

oh we're 4 weeks into weaning and it's worse than ever 😢 he has a few things going on so don't know if it's all affecting him. Yeah he is having plenty of sips with his meals and even sips throughout the day but it's doing nothing.

oh no! 😟. Have you tried the allergens? I’ve heard dairy can cause constipation? Xx

Avatar

yeah he had a severe reaction to cow's milk so could just be part of that still! I know the symptoms can take weeks to subside xx

ah potentially! I guess try bicycle legs, warm baths etc to help things move. Or maybe speak to your GP. I hope your LO feels better soon. It’s so tough especially when you can’t explain to them what’s happening xx

the wind is hilarious and loud and loadssss

doing it all and nothing is working. He's already on Lactulose. I think we just have to ride it out but it's so hard seeing him so distressed 😢 xx

hehe I know right! 😂 my LG will do it in the night and my god, it’s so loud! 🤣
Genuinely don’t know if it’s her or the partner half the time!

We're in the same boat but I heard laughter and also a warm bath helps to relax the tummy muscles. I waited until day 3 when my LG definitely needed to go and we did lots of silly play until she was in hysterics, I then put her in a really warm bath (this was mid afternoon) and voila, pooped in the bath after about ten mins. Worth a try!! X

My boy is dairy intolerant has silent reflux and has Gaviscon.
I find giving him a pear with breakfast helps him.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
