Hi! I'm usually really shy about posting things, but here goes...
My husband and I thought we couldn't have children so taking care of a premature newborn is an adventure. We know the basic things but recently our little girl, Mackenzie, has been having trouble pooping. We went to the hospital and they gave her the world's smallest suppository and it worked that night but it's been a couple days where she hasn't gone again. The pediatrician suggests watered down prune juice and that's what we tried today but she seems so uncomfortable, I've tried rubbing her stomach and snuggling her. Does anyone have any suggestions?
@vamommy89 no, I tried to breastfeed for 10 days. But it was an epic fail. So she is on premie formula (the one in the yellow can I can't remember the name of it), she usually is doing 2-3 oz every 3-4 hours.
My pediatrician recommended prune juice too and it made my son scream for hours. Their little bellies aren't able to digest that much sugar. Give her a warm bath, do bycicle legs, tummy time, hold her knees to her belly and alternate legs.
