5 week old constipated

5 week old is suffering with constipation. Contacted the doctors last week explained everything I’ve tried for my baby to go for a poo but literally nothing was really helping so they’ve prescribed lactulose. He then went the following days 3 times. Then he didn’t go again until Monday. And still haven’t been since. His first initial poo is hard then it’s very loose consistency after that. He also farting loads but still nothing. He’s not going for a good 3-4 days!and that’s even with taking lactulose twice a day 2.5ml. And he’s in so much discomfort. Has anyone else baby suffering like this too?

Is it maybe an allergy to milk? Hes on formula. He sleeps fine until about 3am and then I feel like we are up for the day as he’s crying and straining but still nothing.😩😩

My little one same age used to get a really distended tummy and would scream in distress and nothing worked like bicycle legs, bath, massage we exhausted all our options so went to the drs and they provided baby movical we only started it yesterday but this morning I was awoken to a humongous poo like enormous spilled out everywhere but I was so relieved he wasn't in pain anymore so maybe ask your drs advice and for some sachets of baby movical xx

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
