Constipation

I wouldn't give any meds unless a doctor says, is baby only having milk or having solids?

he’s 90% breastfeed with a few tastes of solids, he’s had prunes and some Greek yoghurt and some sweet potato…all pharmacies shut tomorrow (currently in Spain) so was worrying if we should do something tonight

Oh I just remembered reading someone its common for breastfed babies to go longer without pooping as because they drink as much as they need theres not a whole lot of waste thats produced but since hes had solids id definitely speak to someone but wouldn't give any medication before talking to someone though, maybe try prunes again and a few sips of water

Same here, my little one goes once a week or maybe less than that since we introduced solids. Took him to a GP who checked him and said it’s just normal constipation. They have us a laxative which didn’t really help 😂 he is also happy in between feeds 🤷🏻‍♀️

My little girl went 11 days without pooping when she first started solids. She was totally fine other than that so the doc wasn’t concerned. I gave her some warm water with a squeeze of orange and then the explosion came the next day!

Are you giving water every time your baby has solids? (Cooled boiled water). This helps prevent constipation. Also I found with my daughter that there is such thing as too much fibre which caused her to be constipated. She’s ebf outside of solids and the longest she’s gone without a 💩 is 3 days, but otherwise she goes once a day. Also with the yoghurt did you do a tiny bit first and wait a couple days to check for reaction before going in with more? It could be that he doesn’t process dairy well. I wouldn’t think 11 days without a poo is normal - they are just mini humans so we have to think about what we would consider abnormal if it was happening to us. Really sorry you’re experiencing this though and so glad you’ve posted to question it - follow your gut 🙏
