baby constipation!
Hiya!
Alistair is 8 weeks old now and seems to be a bit constipated. He's only done one poo since Friday (that was on Sunday evening and it was a mammoth one! ) and has up till now been at least once a day. I'm bf-ing exclusively and he is still feeding well. He seems to be straining quite a lot and is quite grumpy! Has anyone else experienced this with their lo? I'll prob phone the health visitor tomorrow if nothing in the meantime but maybe someone has some tried and tested rememdies for getting a poo out!
Thanks!

Hope it get more regular soon, love fiona
Hope that helps!
it can be normal for bf babies to not poo regulary, the best thing for your lo is your milk!
you could try plain cooled water - you could add a little orange juice but best not to put that in a bottle - your lo could 'lap' it out of a cup if you hold it for them at an angle. anything sugary in a bottle can damage lo's teeth through thier gums.
You could also try massaging thier tummy in a clockwise direction.

it is normal for bf babies to not poo as regulary as ff babies.
