HELP. My baby Can’t pooop😓

I exclusively breast-feed my two month old, but she is having trouble using #2… she only farts, she pushes a lot, but when I go to clean her, she only has a little line of poop (sorry if it’s tmi ). My pediatrician told me to try Pedialyte, but it’s not working. Do you guys have any other ideas or advice ?

I have the same problem with my 2 month old, she is so uncomfortable as the days go on, we resorted to windi gas passer but even that doesn’t seem to work anymore 😖 she went from doing 8 a day to 1 a week over night but I keep being told it’s normal!

I’m not sure how long it’s been, but it’s normal for them to not poop for up to like 4 to 5 days sometimes. But I also agreed try rubbing their tummy and doing bicycles.

You can try to take a qtip with vaseline and rub it along the outside of her butt and it should help. Atleast thats what ive heard from my friends who are moms i would def do research on any advice given! I personally havent had the need to try it so i cant give you any personal experience with doing it

Around the 2 month marl they start to poop less. Mine went a week without pooping, the pediatrician said it's because their bodies learn to use the nutrients and have less as waste. However, when he's really struggling we give him 2 oz of prune juice and it really helps!

my baby went through the same thing & i gave her .5oz of water if not less

When my LO was constipated we did bicycle kicks, belly massage, and a warm bath. The bath seemed to really help since he went in the tub.

Warm bath, prune & pear juice with a little water, massages - we did it all. We just took my son to the GI

@Lydia yea! I have done this with my LG and she poops later in the day if not the next time I change her

Adding pear juice to your breast milk. 1 oz of juice per bottle

Lie her on her belly on your lap. I do this with my baby when she has trouble. Within seconds she’s letting loose lol
