Baby tensing and pooping

My baby boy is 10 days old and cluster feeds. He has been tensing really bad and pooing a lot. I’m worried because he looks like he is in pain and goes red in the face.. not sure what to do? Am I feeding him too much?

Are you breastfeeding? Xx

My baby girl was the exact same. I couldn’t understand why because she has a good latch and doesn’t look or sound like she is taking in air. She’s also not a burpy baby but seems so uncomfortable, going red, pulling faces, arching her back, trumps a lotttt and pooing SO much!! I got a bit overwhelmed on day 12 (due to other factors too) and decided to start combi feeding, nothing changed so I decided to start infacol on day 16.. I’ve noticed she is doing so much better since then. It took a few days to start noticing a difference. She still pulls faces/goes red sometimes but no where near as much as she did before infacol x

Yes I’m breast feeding.. I’m going to buy some infacol see if that helps xx

I don’t think you can overfeed a breastfed baby but it’s so difficult because we don’t know how much they are getting. I am in the same boat and our baby is pooing about 20 times a day, and he looks uncomfortable. Xx

@Celica just give it a few days of consistently using it and hopefully you notice a difference 😊

Chloe do you give it once a day or before each feeding?

@Ashleigh before each feed x
