my daughter's pediatrician switched her to Similac soy isomil because she is constipated. but I read on WebMD that it causes constipation bc of the extra iron in it. She screams when she goes to the bathroom and it is really hard and her little bottom is so red and sore and she sounds like she is getting a sore throat from crying so much. my nerves are shot. I just want my baby to feel better. should I switch pediatricians?
@supermom1104, I tried BF but didn't produce anything 😥
the gripe water made her tummy feel better but didn't make her go.
@kristinamarie_1996. I will have to try the sugar. brown or white? and since she's only 3 weeks should I only give her 1oz?
our pediatrician told us to give our 2 month old 2oz of sugar water in the morning and 2oz at night. 1 tsp sugar per 1oz water.
I just gave my daughter gripe water for the first time the other day and yes it does help with the fusiness but it gave her the poops BAD. :(
we tried both karo syrups. I will try some gripe water. she won't let my husband or I put her down. poor thing won't sleep either.

gripe water will help with her crying it may even help her poop it helped my daughter
I mix baby prunes in my daughters bottle every now and then and that helps her
yes. and we tried karo syrup and prune juice. we put the karo in warm water and her formula and the prune juice in her formula and straight and everything makes her projectile puke everywhere.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

So my daughters cord was wrapped around her neck I just delivered her vaginally she was so beautiful rip my angel
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
have you tried the qtip with petroleum jelly and I tried something once with my LO that my mom suggested and it worked, the little inch of skin before her butthole when she's pushing trying to force out poop you can push down on it..I did it once just because my baby wouldn't poop and I didn't know what else to do I felt so bad for her..but I did that and she immediately had a diaper full, sometimes they just need a little help.
