BF & constipation

Is anyone who’s breastfeeding suffering bad constipation😩 I usually poo’d every day at least once with no issues but since having baby every time I need to poo has reduced to once every couple of days and it’s always so hard it actually hurts and makes me bleed 😭 is this normal? I do drink a lot of water in a day! At least 1.5L i would say

I’m having the same issue, I’ve made my bum bleed on multiple occasions and I’ve been so constipated since the day I gave birth, not sure why this is though but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one suffering from this! Not sure whether this is normal or not 🤔

It kind of makes sense because your body’s taking all ur water into making milk so it probably leaves u slightly dehydrated but I am drinking loads of water (i thought so anyway) and that still isn’t helped

I was constipated & thinking about it was breastfeeding, have recently stopped breastfeeding & I must say the constipation has gone so might be related….
