I hated doing that but the nurse said to do it I just practically forced my son to poop took his…

I hated having to do that too... :/

will he still be able to go on his own after awhile? @nicemmcha2015

it's normal for them to take a few days to go poop. My lo started out that way now she goes once every two to three days.

He on formula?? @monmy.to.be.041016

@mommy.to.be.041016, yeah. I just wouldn't make habit of doing that.

he's been stopped up for a week I've done everything else like an ounce of apple juice watered down , an ounce of warm water q tip and thermometer with Vaseline , giving him warm baths , rubbing his belly along with the bicycle motions :/ my fiance says we're gonna wait till Monday to see what happens and if nothing im taking him to the doctor and he strains and poots a lot we even gave him gas drops and yeah my nipples are still really tender from him sucking on it so I've been giving him formula my fiance even bought soy formula to see if thT helped but it only made him spit up really bad he's always been spitting up out his nose which causes him to sneeze and more comes out but his doctor said it was normal @braelynnsmommy @nicemmcha2015 @mhaley1223

did it take a week or so for your baby to start going back on her own @nicemmcha2015

yeah it's normal. it also depends sometimes on what you might be eating. I just let her poop when she is ready, ive never made her go poop.

@mommy.to.be.041016, no. it didn't.

@mommy.to.be.041016, but then again she was breastfed so idk anything about formula

oh well I called his pediatrician and thats what his nurse told me to do either the thermometer thing or a warm bath to loosen up those muscles but it didnt help @mhaley1223 and he's both its just so sensitive right now I've went without breastfeeding for three days I'm finally able to keep a shirt on but I tried breastfeeding this morning and I was like I can't do this so imma try again tomorrow @nicemmcha2015

I've heard switching back and forth don't help either

I had to give my daughter enfamil gentle ease bc she was spitting up bad and getting constipated. @mommy.to.be.041016

that's what we got we went from similac, enfamil, similac soy , back to enfamil gentlease he hasn't spit up bad since we put him back on enfamil like he was though yeah that's how he's been constipated and spitting up bad @braelynnsmommy
