What can you do for a constipated 4 day old? I'm breastfeeding but I was scared that I wouldn't be able to because I had a breast reduction 5 yrs ago so I was also supplementing with formula. My milk came in yesterday and is actually coming out (yay!!!) so I haven't given her any more formula but she hasn't pooped and was screaming in the middle of the night for over an hr, she just kept passing gas, I'm thinking she's constipated?
Make sure she is constipated though, some babies can go days without pooping but aren't constipated. Breast fed babies rarely are constipated. Sometimes they are just frustrated because they are still learning what muscles to use. But the gripe water usually gets things moving if your worried, usually within 12 hours. and yes you can get it there! @bianca_rose
I would give her some gripe water, it usually helps with gas pain, stomach aches, Etc. @bianca_rose
What's a good formula for baby's that are constipated? My daughter is on soy and she screams every time she poops 😭 I'm currently substituting formula when breastmilk isn't enough
So my daughter was on Similac Advanced.. But was switched to Sensitive.. Well its been over 2 weeks and they sent over something to WIC to have it changed on my checks. I haven't gone to WIC yet.. But now I think this formula is making her constipated.. She hasn't been popping much. And when she does she has a really hard time. Question is... Can it be the formula causing the constipation??

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
I'm looking forward to that hour of skin to skin with my baby... even tho I'm formula feeding she said that it still needs to be done. I'm so excited. I really can't wait to next week!! 💙🍼👟👣

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 ❤️
Thank you so much!! @mamatobe8516
