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
