Not uncomfortable but just only every 3 days

2 days ago I changed my babies formula from aptamil to aptamil comfort as she was experiencing extremely bad trapped wind/colic and was super unsettled 24/7, but today she has been in so much pain when pooing and we noticed that it had got stuck and she is now really sore . I was trying infacol but made her reflux ...

My baby boy is now 2 and half weeks old. He seems to go a good couple days without a poo and then has one and then goes another couple days without but he also seems to be in discomfort especially at night time!! Should I get him a doctors appointment? The midwife said if it’s 3 days or longer without a poo then con...

My baby boy is exclusively BF. We have been struggling since he was born. Around 6 weeks he was diagnosed with colic, started bio Gaia. It helped for about 1.5-2 months, then i noticed it was making it worst then before like he would wake up every day crying and grunting after 5ish sometimes after 6. Then i stopped ...

My little girl is 10 weeks old and hasn’t pooped in 8 days she has lactulose but it hasn’t helped she’s been on it for a week now how often does your little one poop she’s having breast milk if that makes a difference

Shen do these fall off? My baby girl still has hers on at 9 days old x

We’ve seen a private doctor via teams who said all of my baby’s symptoms are related to CMPA. All paediatricians here are saying it’s ‘just eczema’ and are refusing to prescribe EHF. We’ve seen other healthcare professionals who seem to think she definitely has an intolerance/allergy. We swapped from comfort to goat...

I'm finding all kinds of conflictingbadvice online. The most confusing that it depends on the consistency rather than frequency, but she hasn't pooped so I don't know the consistency. She's been going 4 times a day until a couple weeks ago, then we suddenly had some days when she'd only go once, others where she'd s...

My little girl is 5 weeks and EBF. He only seems to poo every 2-3 days. He is farting lots, has lots of really wet nappies and is gaining weight. The midwife and doctor do not seem to be worried but when I look online it says BF babies should go every day. Anyone else’s baby have this problem? x

Hi, my 3 week old didn’t do a poo in 24hrs now. She’s constantly grunting and I think she might be constipating. Any advice on how to help her pls

I'll try make this short. My boy was BF until 6 months after that went on to aptamil formula. He had bad reflux so changed him to aptamil anti reflux then he became constipated with it being thicker milk . Tried changing him back to normal milk and was given omeprazole by gp. Wouldn't take normal milk so put him ba...

4week old Baby is formula fed, and she hasn’t had a poo in over a day! This has happened once before but then she started up again. She seems really uncomfortable and frustrated. She gets red in the face and gets all scrunched up. Tried baby massage and bicycle legs. Any help on this? Thank you

Hi all, Has anyone had any trouble with poops since birth? My little one is on anti reflux milk which is thicker and at first, was causing awful constipation and she was practically unable to poo herself without me helping her (doing bicycle legs and crunches until she pooped), she was then prescribed some Lactulos...

Should/can I take my two year old daughter with me to my first ever appointment for this mind you spouse will be unavailable

My LO is 12 weeks and for the past two weeks has been getting really bad reflux. I burp him and I try and sit him up for as long as possible after his bottle but sometimes he’ll projectile vomit. Could this be an allergy? Anyone else have this problem?

Has anyone got any tips for a colicky baby that aren’t already on google? We’ve tried everything with our 6 week old LO and the night times are really rough. I find myself getting upset simply because I can’t help her and I feel so sorry for her! I’m going to talk to my health visitor on Tuesday as I’m fairly certai...

Hey y’all. My daughter turns 5 months in a couple days. She’s teething and loves putting her hands in her mouth. But sometimes she gags herself. Especially when she’s tired - I think she’s more forceful with chewing on her hands when she’s tired. Anyway, she sometimes gags herself and today she actually vomited poor...

Formula fed 1 week old how many poos are your babies doing? Baby girl was going lots and now it slowed

Hi mums, Does cow's milk cause constipation or stomach ache to your little one?
