No poop in 2 days

My little girl is 2 and half weeks old, she was having poo’s like 4/5 times a day up until about 5 days ago and then it’s slowed down to 1/2 a day and now she’s not had a poo in over 38 hours, we’ve just been to the dr but they say to wait it out abit longer but she’s unsettled and seems in pain, we’ve tried doing the belly massage and bicycle kicks but nothing seems to work, does anyone have any suggestions please. She is currently combi fed with a 50/50 ratio

Instead of bicycle legs push both legs towards her tummy in a circular clockwise motion making a circle (hope that makes sense!).

Google the tiger in the tree position - this helps reset their nervous system and relax which can help them poo.

Tummy massage small circular motions underneath the belly button to either side.

Also a dummy can help! x

Melatonin for toddlers

Hi mums I’ve a concern that when your toddler is not sleeping anymore and being fussy due to lack of sleep so how many times you give them melatonin and dosage. My toddler sometimes doesn’t want to sleep at all so I am thinking to try but as a FTM I wanna take suggestions

9 month old not sleeping

I'm struggling with sleep. My daughter used to sleep before she was 4 months old. She's off and on done okay but lately since probably 7 months she doesn't sleep more than 2 hours at a time and tonight is really rough. She's freaking out, screaming, scratching me, flailing around and won't sleep. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. She's bed shared for months now and it was helping but it's just not anymore and I'm at a loss. I can't do cry it out. My heart can't let her scream alone. She also gets so worked up I know it wouldn't work anyway. Any advice is welcome. Tia.

Fussy feeds?! Help!

My LG is 3.3 months old. She has been a fussy feeder since about 2 months old. She’s is mainly breastfed but will have one bottle in the evening sometimes if she needs it while I spend some time with her sister. (Her dad usually feeds her this).

Her latch has never been great since birth. I’ve tried breastfeeding support sessions, different positions etc.. Her latch still isn’t great. HV and GP not worried because she’s putting on good weight & having enough wet / poo nappies.

She has been to the GP about this recently and they reckon she has silent reflux. We’ve tried the infant Gaviscon that they prescribed for a couple weeks and it’s made no difference. I don’t believe it is that. Rather maybe something else? I have tried tummy massages before feeds too, didn’t help.

She gets so frustrated at both the breast and the bottle. Like pure rage. I’ve messed about with different teats for the bottle and that has also made no difference.
On the breast she will fuss before she’s even on it. And the times when she doesn’t she will suckle for a minute then pull off in frustration.

I was worried it was my milk supply but I exclusively pumped one day when I had a stomach bug and I managed to pump at least 150ml every 2/3 hours.

She is the same with bottles. She will cry before the bottle even touches her mouth sometimes. Then sometimes she will have a bit of the bottle then become fussy with it. I have tried many different types and brands of bottles too.

The only time she is not fussy feeding is when she wakes up for a night feed once or twice in the night. She feeds great and goes back to sleep.

I tried feeding/ nursing her in the bedroom and make it quiet and dark but she will still fuss.

I am honestly stumped for ideas now so I’m hoping one of you lovely ladies might have some advice.

I am so close to giving up breastfeeding because she keeps clamping down on my nipple with her gums so hard in frustration.

I’ve tried offering cold teething toys too and felt her gums. I don’t believe it’s early teething.

Pls send help 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 before I loose my mind!!!!

How do you do it

My little boy is 13 months old, is so cuddly and we still breastfeed. I've just found out I'm pregnant (still early) just extremely overwhelmed!
What makes me nervous is I want my little boy to breastfeed as long as he wants and we currently still cosleep. I love cosleeping but how woukd i do it with him and a newborn! I am introducing sleeping in his bed tonight, but I'm just nervous, I don't want him to feel pushed out or jealous.
