so my son is a week old and the last poop he had was light brown and watery . that was two days ago . ever since he has been screaming and crieing when he tries to poop . i rubbed his belly today and a little bit of that same poop came out but not much he is still in ALOT of pain . he is breastfed i gave him a little bit of goodstart formula yesterday because i didnt have time to pump and we had a dr apt. he still always wants to suck on the boob but hes in alot of pain and i dont know what to do or whats wrong :(
My son had issues with constipation (also had starting thrush) but mostly cause we had to switch formula when 3 weeks old I had 2 weeks that were having to help him do leg exercises etc. Hopefully if you breastfeed more it will help if he doesn't go in 48 hours I'd call doctor and see what more you could do. They had me switch formula and give suppositories during switch to help. Sorry for not being much help I know how much hell it was when my little one did that. Hopefully he gets better soon!
Keep breastfeeding as much as he wants. As long as his belly is soft, not distended and the poop is soft when he does go- it’s ok. His body is getting used to things. Swapping to formula for a random bottle here and there though can upset his tummy.
@aliceann1993 @spookylyn i have tried litterly everything im so frusterated and feel so bad
@spookylyn its a little hard but not too much when hes in pain he screams and his whole body goes red and he stiffs out his legs quenches his fists and purs them up to his face
@davidj66 No I was breastfeeding and giving formula but im stopping using formula but hes still in so much pain
@davidj66 Honestly I Think Hes Colic im going to bring him to the clinic tomorrow if he isnt feeling better
