Constipation 😢😩
My lg has become constipated really suddenly (up until yesterday has been going 5x a day, then one fully formed, very hard one yesterday and small hard ones throughout today)
She is breaking my heart and seems in quite a lot of pain when they pass (happy as Larry otherwise!)
I’m giving prunes, water, fruit, veggies and fibre, doing bicycle legs with each nappy change and using warm cotton wool. Nice warm bath too!
She’s been up already a couple of times tonight crying, passing small dense ones 🥺 so I’m going to ring the GP first thing tomorrow.
Just wondering, has anyone experienced this and have any good tips or just advice that this will pass soon please 🙏
(I believe this has started because I’ve been cooking for her more instead of giving porridge/pouches etc)
Also does anyone know how much water they can have a day please?

I think up to 8oz water roughly 1 cup
Boil some fennel seeds in water and give 2 teaspoons, it works wonders
Hello, yes my LO also gets really constipated he’s now on movicol from the GP and I also give him prunes and water! His constipation was so bad it was ripping his bum whenever he went to the loo😬 but I defo think getting something from the GP helps! X

Same thing, ended up getting lactulose from GP and worked pretty quick! Gave it for a couple days then seems normal again. sweet potato, bananas, pasta, bread worsen constipation :)
