Serious Constipation

My LO is 5 months EBF and she seems to be seriously struggling to poop she is crying and screaming while trying hard to push out. I have tried the warm bath and store bought organic prune…nothing seems to working this is the first time for her to be this bad.

How can I help her relieve this?

Is she eating solid food? Did u try giving sweet potato? It helps my LO to poop.

I put some oil on her tummy wen my girl struggles and on her feet asofetida paste

Any P words help the babies poop, so prunes, pumpkin pears etc. you can try bicycle legs as it may be help with gas and moving things around and they have belly massages you can do. You could also take her to the paediatrician to see if they can help with anything? Increase water during the day? Pretty sure we were drinking water at 5 months. It is odd she’s constipated being ebf so maybe bring her to the pediatrician to make sure everything’s all good. ♥️

I only started introducing solids just recently as she is really ready and grabs anything I put in my mouth to hers. So just putting bits of food like tiny bananas and she takes them fast.

Try some fresh oranges too, make her juice, freshly squeezed, it helps with my little one

My daughter was the same at 5 months! Such a good eater now because she ate everything I ate and not by my choice lol i was trying to wait. In the baby food aisle, they have purées you can buy that are baby friendly and again any p words will help. Although because it’s natural, it may take a day or two to get things moving. I would look up exercises to help you poop and trying those out with her in a baby friendly way? Also increase water will help! 🤗

Banana can make babys constipated. Anything with a P helps them poop. If our little guy gets even a little bit constipated, we give him any purees we have with Ps. Pear, prunes, pumpkin. Seems to be the best.

Along with all the other advice, give her some water too. That can also help.

I gave my baby banana and it gets her constipated I just stop and mix it with other fruits instead.

Try giving her biogia probiotics. This is what I give my daughter to help her digestive system

You can drink apple juice and then give it to her through breast milk. It helped my baby poop.

If she’s constipated it’s likely due to too much solids too often I would suggest taking time off solids first a day and only do milk until she poops.
