Help needed mummies. My little one screams before and during having a poo. As soon as she has a poo…

She's probably constipated xx @sarahgreenwood1992

@chesscalouise what can i do to help her?

Lactulose or boiled water hun and massage her little belly and move her legs like she’s riding a bike. Hope she’s over it soon x

Tried the belly thing. And the legs. Im not sure it is poo related anymore though. She doesnt eant to be put down at the moment. Ive just had her on me for the last hour, put her down so i could go to the toilet and she started screaming again. Seeing the midwife tomorrow so will mention it to her and see what she says. Xx

What about infacol ? X

@natalie2255 tried that too x

My 5wk old was doing this and it was trapped wind infacol is for bottom wind and gripe water for trapped wind in the belly, but infacol takes 7 days to work so must be given before every feed and it cleared my LO up he was screaming and grunting all night long but has fully stopped now

Try lying them on your shoulder or your thigh in their belly to help put some pressure on the trapped wind

I also read that for some babies they just don't like the sensation of how the poo feels when it's inside of them trying to come out a warm bath might relax her bottom muscles and make it more comfortable that's what I'm trying to do with my LO atn as he is constipated but tenses all his muscles to stopping the poo coming out even more

Thank you will try it. Xx
