is there anything i can do for my baby i think shes getting constipated from the formula :/ she grunts & struggles when trying to poop.. she is 2 days old
It may just be an upset tummy from the formula. Idk what kind of formula she is on, but I've had issues with my kids not being able to break down the proteins on their own from regular newborn infant formula. Sometimes it can be too much for them. Mine ended up on a formula that wasn't milk based. If she's constipated she will likely go a few days without pooping and when she does poop it will look like clay balls. See if her tummy feels hard and keep an eye on her schedule, and note it she stops wanting to eat etc. those are also signs of constipation.
yeah she kinda crys in frustration & its just little squirts coming out 😞 @angelmama12
When my daughter was around the same age she would do the same. I got told that maybe it was the formula (similac advance) having too much iron, but I gave her hyland's baby gas drops a it worked like magic!
