My daughter is having such a hard time pooping and I don't know what to do to help her. I feel so bad I wanna cry with her! I gave her Karo syrup and water missed together like the doctor told me and she pooped all up her back twice yesterday and hasn't gone since.. I don't know what to do.. 😩😭😞
oh, my lactation consultant said as long as she isn't straining it was normal..... have you tried the q-tip or rectal thermometer? I've heard you can put some vaseline on it and gently move it around and it can help them poop as well
my breastfed baby used to go up to a week without pooping sometimes, pediatrician said it's completely normal. it just means that baby was able to use the nutrients and has nothing leftover to waste. as long as there are plenty of wet diapers, she is fine(:
@sarahdrew, yes she straining.. And I can hear her stomach bubbling... Her pedi said she should have 3-4 dirty diapers a day... Usually she does but not the last few days..
it's normal for them not to poop everyday mama, my daughter will sometimes go 2 to 3 days between.... it just means they are using the breastmilk to grow and they don't have much waste from it, as long as her wet diapers are still good, she's good... is she straining?
@babylove11416, oh ok I can look it up.. And @sarahdrew yes I'm breastfeeding
it's called a football hold. it's with one hand. I prefer 2. or whatever you like. it kinda puts them like on their tummy on your arm.
like how you hold her....um..I'll share a video. ..gimme sec. (I can't explain it)
She hasn't been on her stomach.. Maybe I don't understand what you mean? @babylove11416
@kattastrophe, she has plenty of wet diapers but she usually poops a lot during a day and just stopped... And she's farting a little but she has to try hard for them lol she'll start screaming and then fart and be fine until she has to fart again... @sarahdrew my mom used a thermometer on her yesterday..
