We’ve increased tummy time and she honestly doesn’t stop farting when she does it! May be worth a go?
I haven't tried them, but, when my son was a baby (11 years ago 😅) and he had constipation, a midwife told me to dampen a cotton bud (with water or some oil) and massage 'the area' with it (the area being the baby's bum hole). So not inserting anything but just using the cotton bud to stimulate around it. All I can say is it definitely worked!
My little boy around the 3 months mark moved from going several times a day to every couple of days which health visitor said was fine. If he is ever in discomfort I do a warm bath then a tummy massage. I searched tummy massage for constipation on YouTube and it works x
I tried one when my girl was crying for hour’s because of trapped lower gas. Her stomach was swollen and she was red in the face from trying to poop. If you’re careful with it then it works. I lubed it up a little, barely inserted it, and it made a whoosh noise as it helped relieve that gas. About 20 mins later she was able to poop, feed, and go to sleep.
I wouldn't worry, babies can go a few days without pooing and it's perfectly fine. Could be a growth spurt.
I found the windi’s absolutely amazing they helped my daughter with constipation and with her colic
Personally.i wouldn't, I've seen videos from paediatric healthcare professionals that have suggested that you can hurt your baby if not careful. If you have something like a swing or a bouncer they can help the movement or I think the NHS suggests a little cooled boiled water.
