Baby constipation
Can anyone share some tips for newborn constipation?
My little girl is only eight days old and she hasn't popped in 48hrs, she's in so much discomfort.
I feel like I've tried everything 😩
Will ring midwife in the morning

Cotton bud in Vaseline around her little bum. It feels wrong, but worked for my baby x
@Leigh it worked for my baby since birth till now shes 5months 🩷
Massaging them using coconut oil worked wonders for me. I actually found the original video on YouTube .
The Frida windi was a lifesaver for our gassy guy. Resulted in lots of toots (it always made us laugh because of the sound 😂) and almost always resulted in some poo being released.
Did the hospital send you home with lactose for yourself? I was and when my LO was struggling to go I noticed on the bottle it said babies can have it. Also lots of bicycle legs and belly crunches. Try lightly rubbing her belly clockwise

So if you’re breastfeeding, it’s completely normal for babies to not poop for 48 hours. However, I know what you mean when you’re saying your baby is backed up and they’re fussy because of gas. I found that warm baths, gas drops, and helping my baby kick his legs help the most. Best of luck 💕
