Combo-fed Newborn constipation -

My LG was the same - BF with 1 x bottle of ready made Kendamil. She didn’t poop for 10 days and I was ITCHING.
By day 7 I made a GP appt as she seemed uncomfortable. They prescribed a laxative which she took on day 8, and pooped day 10. HV & GP weren’t too concerned as she was mainly BF and they consider anything up to 10 days as normal. 🫪

I think our LO was due to infant dysphasia. She couldn’t quite figure out how to do it 😅 Monitor and call the GP if she seems unsettled, and trust your gut. 💕

I also combo feed my baby and I also had the same issue, my baby was having a few days of no poop then a few days of very watery loose stool. I bought a baby heat pad for his tummy and it helps him poop a lot. You could try that?

I’m curious who told you you needed to supplement so early on? Babies are expected to lose up to 10% of their birth weight and should be allowed at least 2 weeks to gain it back.
I know that’s not what you’ve asked about but I’m just wondering if you’ve been given the correct advice x

My little one is 4 weeks old and I had to supplement from the start because I don't have enough milk supply and we do triple feeding (breast, formula, pumping). (I knew it was to be expected because it was the same with my first when he was born 18 months ago).
My little one didn't poop for 2-3 days and struggles to drink from the boob and bottle because he has issues to latch on properly. Tongue tie was discarded by doctors and midwife. He seems to not being able to coordinate his muscles properly to latch on and suck. Also he has infant dyschezia and struggles pooping, has pain when trying to as well as lots of gas.
We went to an osteopath and since then he poos once a day, can drink a bit better than before any more gas comes out (way more farts). The osteopath said that his muscles are very tensed around the abdomen and the jaw muscles which leads to his problems. We continue with the osteopath treatment as it seems to help him
