Constipation baby

Hey Mumma’s

I need some advice and help with constipation for my baby? He hasn’t been for a poo since yesterday and can clearly see he’s uncomfortable
😣

I’m breastfeeding he’s not on formula he’s feeding fine it’s the only thing that seems to calm him down is being on the boob.

Any tips? I’ve done the bicycle movements and given him a warm bath :(

How old is he

Depends on how old he is.

Gentle tummy massage. Circular clockwise movements. Resist the urge to press down. Belly is sensitive.

I’ve seen posts about putting something up baby’s bum. My HV said not to do this as can cause more harm than good. Very sensitive area.

If he doesn’t poo for 7 days take him to your doctor / midwife. I mean go sooner if you prefer but the 7 day mark is when the doctor should be called.

I’m having the same issue with my 7 week old baby. Tried everything massage changed formula, belly rubs. Bicycle legs. But it’s stressing me out on how uncomfortable they are and when they cry. When he does poo it’s like normal poo and not constipated poo. Mine sometimes poos every day but late at night or early morning. Sometimes he don’t poo for a day. He is combi fed and if you are bf apparently the milk is more like a laxative compare to formula milk xx

Mine is breastfed only and quite often will go 3-4 days without any poo. She’s 4 months and been like that for several weeks. If I feel like she’s getting a bit backed up I do lots of bicycle legs and tummy massages.

Constipated infant might be the dairy. If they are old enough little pure prune juice with water.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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 🙂

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
