Annoyed

So I already feel like a horrible mother for feeling this way so please no backlash So my little boy is almost 14 months old and has been dealing with constipation since 6 months old I have been back and forth to the doctors since to get him sorted and all they have given is laxatives that don’t work for long but I’m honestly starting to get annoyed with how much he tries to poo like the sound of him trying or the nappy changes for the tiny amount of poo is starting to do my head in I know it isn’t his fault but I still end up feeling annoyed at every time he poos or tries to

Has he been drinking plenty of water? That would help or prunes. Physically active as well. Hope he feels better soon. Totally okay to be annoyed. I get it!

@Kels yeah he’s always drinking water, prunes no longer work for him and he’s always on the move

Have you tried diluted fruit juice? Certain things can trigger you for no apparent reason. You aren’t a bad mother for feeling it, the harm starts when you act on it. Sending you love x

Does your little one possibly have an issue with iron or maybe getting too much iron? I know I personally have issues with too much iron and our boys have an iron sensitivity as well. Or possibly an intolerance for something else?

Oh, honey, you are doing a great job! It is so tough to figure out kids sometimes. My little one struggles with constipation too. Thankfully, 4oz prune juice every morning works to keep her pooping. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to not find a solution. Keep trying mama, you'll figure out what is going on with your kid! I hope for your sake it is soon! ❤

@Anna we have tired everything for him it works for a bit then it stops working

@Anna the doctor keeps on telling me different things and they aren’t being very helpful with him at all

@Elizabeth not that I know of they won’t test him for anything they just say he’s a baby with as a constipation problem and he will grow out of it

I’m so sorry you haven’t found the answers yet. He could have a medical issue, I say fight for him, even if you have to take him to the doctors everyday until they order tests I’d do it. I really hope things get better for you and your boy soon x

@Anna I have been thinking about taking him back but I have also been looking at taking him private so I can get answers
