Worried...help if you can, PLEASE!
in Baby
The boys are almost a year old and up until last week ate very well. Ryan still is but im worried about Alfie.
We have blamed everything on teeth for the past 2 months or so as they have been very grumpy and irritable. However, Alfie has only produced 2 nuggets of poo since Tues eve (normally go at least once a day) and he has slowly stopped eating (started with just lunch, then today no tea either, and wont touch his bottles). His tummy is quite hard but he isnt bothered if I touch/prod/press it. He has wind quite badly too.
The only difference is that we have stopped Gavison so wouldnt thought it wouldve got softer not harder?
Im starting to worry now (although I am known for being a little premature in the worrying department!)

The session I attended today focused on Tummy Massage and the instructor warned us about the amount they will go because it stimulates there tummy if they have wind or are constipated. Maybe try rubbing his tummy (only doing clockwise motions) below his rib cage and then doing small circular clockwise circles with 3 fingers if he'll let you. I'm in NO WAY any expert and you have much more experience of motherhood than I do (I only have one baby and she is nearly 5 months). My LO however has done several explosive nappies today (or nuclear nappies as I like to say lol!) including one in tesco's which leaked everywhere!
Hope this helps if you try it and little Alfie gets some relief!

He is very restless, although he is the more restless of the 2 so it can sometimes be rather difficult to tell! Ive just had to rock him to sleep, which is pretty unheard of. He is also waking at 4.30 ish (2 nights ago it was 2.30!) when they had gotten into a 5.30am habit. (which is still too early but hey ho!)
Thank you for the help ladies...just considering drs but wondering if im overreacting just a little??
i would say drs if he continues to not eat as thats more worrying. keep giving the lactulose in the meantime. prunes should work they always did with jasmine.
what about a bit of iluted orange juice?
and a nice warm bath to relax him if tummy is tense.

If we have nothing by lunch tomorrow, will def give some lactulose. Have given him a warm bath tonight, although bath time isnt exactly relaxing in our house! lol! The only place they play without fighting is in the bath!
