Is she breastfeeding? X

I used to find a little cooled boiled water in a bottle helped my little boy. Only 1 or 2oz was enough xx

When I had that trouble a little warm water and barely any prune juice mixed together make sure it’s warm but it worked for me

Also massaging stomach area and doing that foot lifting thing to help them fart works to help loosen up their tenseness from being constipated

Mine was 5month old , was same but no prune or prune juice helped. I was told to give Mylanta (you can buy from over the counter) less than half of a teaspoon. 2 or 3 times a day 1 hr before or after meal . And my son made #2 diaper the same night thankfully

She specifically prescribed this because its just antacid and side effects is diarrhea which my son needed

It’s normal for breast fed babies to go up to a week without pooping. However I was just concerned for my little one because he didn’t go for over a week! He wasn’t crying or uncomfortable. His stomach wasn’t hard. But I was still worried so we did a prune purée yesterday and less than an hour later he went ! A couple spoon fulls should do the trick.

Hope everything works out for your baby! My baby went no 2nd one for a little more than 14days😳 but thank God everything was normal just less eating caused this probably. Only breastfeeding at that time and no enough supply

Pears are good too, when u grate them as sauce

If the baby is breastfeeding they can go without pooping for a week or even 10 days. As long as the baby is passing gas and not having discomfort then it’s fine :)

I got given some lactoluse from the doctors. But they have also recommended a little cooled boiled water to help if your concerned ring the doctors x

This just happened to my almost 5 month old. Gave him 1oz of prune juice in his bottle and it worked so well! Even if you haven’t started purées. I was worried but glad I did it cuz it totally helped!
