Constipation

My daughter drinks only Kendamil goat formula! During her 3-5 week she wouldn’t poop & would grunt while trying to fart. the doctors all said that she was still maturing and no need for her to poop everyday. if she pooped within 10 days apart she was okay. her lil tummy was still maturing. also a doctor prescribed formdadine (for GERD) & i bought Kendamil probiotic drops (which only took maybe twice). My daughter is 2 months now and poops every so often. I recommend getting an app to help keep track of your child’s progress. This will help doctors too. I hope this helps!

You can try tummy massage, look up the 'ILU" tummy massage, but its essentially gently massaging the tummy in a clockwise U shape to help keep their digestion moving. You can also do "bicycle legs" moving her legs like she is riding a bicycle and also putting both legs together, bending the knees and moving them in a clockwise circle can help :)

YES! We had awful trouble on kendamil.. my baby was so gassy, constipated and had horrendous reflux! We switched to aptamil and she’s so much better! There’s no harm in trying another milk, just give it a couple of weeks for your baby to adjust to acknowledge any changes :) Hope your baby settles for you soon ❤️

Hi I know from experience and friends little ones that unfortunately it can be a mental block. It can take babies up to 4 months to learn how to poop properly. They will strain to go but not then relax their bum to go. A friends little boy struggled and she went to alder hey where they told her this it’s called infant dyschezia and can last until about 4 months as they eventually learn how to poop. Unfortunately there isn’t anything to fix it other than trying to relax baby. Her little boy is absolutely fine with his pooing now it correct around 3 months my little boy is 4 weeks and is struggling. They say once they do go if it is still soft/runny/pasty then it isn’t constipation and it is just them not knowing to strain. I’ve personally found a bag hand then tummy massage helps my little one xx
