Baby Constipation
Willing to try anything at this point if anyone has any suggestions 😩 my little guy who is 7 months old started having some issues with bowel movements approx. 3 weeks ago. His poops were becoming more firm and harder for him to get out. I ensure he drinks enough fluids, we do regular exercises & tummy massages, he’s on a probiotic and sees a chiropractor weekly.
I started giving him prunes and other fibrous foods, reducing any foods harder to digest which still did not help. After 2 weeks of him screaming in pain every time he tried to release anything, often disrupting his sleep, I took him to the doctor. They suggested restoralax and a suppository. The suppository helped him have a few good poops for 24 hrs and we are back to square one, if not worse 😔
Open to any tips before we go back to the doctor. He is so exhausted from not sleeping properly (as am I). My heart breaks seeing him in so much pain and not being able to offer anything other than comfort.
Problems with pumping??
Hi everyone, ftm mum here so very new to all this! Ive chosen to combi feed with both breast and expressed milk and was advised by the midwife to breastfeed, then pump after. Ive done this in total 3 times now but it seems that only when I pump, then at my babys next feed, she isnt as full and cries for more and my boobs dont seem as full. She's always content after a feed when I havent pumped, it seems that pumping is just depleting my milk supply and my milk supply isnt building back up in time for her next feed if that makes sense? Am I doing it wrong or is this normal??
