Have you tried giving him a little bit of cool boiled water? That sometimes makes them go x

I had the same problem with Evie on Sunday. I went to the chemist and they couldn't give me any advice and wouldn't give me anything because of her age. But a lady recommended fennel leaf tea..
The health visitor recommended cool boiled water xx

Cooled boiled water (little bit), also try bicycle legs! And we went to baby massage - put a little bit of baby oil on his tummy a go round in circles gently - that may help move it down x

I would say less - is he breast fed or formula? X

Perhaps when you give him his next bottle add an extra oz of water?! Maybe do that with the odd bottle until he poops! What milk is he on? X

My first son used to have real problems changed his milk as a last resort. Know it's gross but my mum massaged his bottom and used vasoline to help him go. Also found lying him with his tummy against mine helped as the warmth soothed him. Hope he feels better soon x

Have you had any success? Cool boiled water will hopefully help! If it doesn't speak to pharmacist, my little boy had lactulose to help him x
