frustrated beyound belief my 3 week old will not sleep and is crying. he poops only once a day. he is on enfamil newborn has been since his birth because of low blood sugar and i have compleatly lost my milk supply. i am exsausted so is my boyfriend i am braking down crying when he crys or when any little kid around me crys. got him drops for constipation as well as for gass nothings working and i cant stand seeing my son in pain. i dont know what to do.
Have you tried Gripe Water. my daughter used to have tummy problems when she was a newborn and it worked wonders.. she was breastfeed so I don't know about the formula.
I used to have the same problem and I was doing it by myself. I give my daughter juice every morning and gripe water only if that doesn't work for her. Oh! And do not give him prune juice! It's rough on the stomach. Any juice that would be acidic like apple juice or orange juice make sure to put something like desitin on him so he doesn't get a rash!
Also do you make warm bottles? I do for my baby and she sleeps so much easier!
Gripe water was my life saver! Get the mommys bliss brand. Also get Gerber juice and give him 2 oz every morning or regular juice (1oz juice 1oz water)
My baby girl was the same way, I used Enfamil Newborn and it seemed to make my baby very colicky, I recommend Enfamil Gentalease, I have not had any problems since I switched she poops maybe 1-2 times a day but that is normal, takes it down so much easier, maybe buy a small can and test it out, you will definitely notice the differences between the two, I definitely did!
thats what im using now and it does not help his bellys hard as a rock bouncing him helps him burp and hes passing gass just fine but he screams when you touch his belly
Try their apple juice or prune it works!! My daughter was constipated and then gave her apple juice for a week every day
as long as its not hard, theyre fine. if a week passes and they havent pooped yet thats when theres a problem
