My 3week old constipated how🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ i am breasfeeding & have not ate anything that will make him constipated not that i know of. He has been crying & fussing & also he only wants to be eating how can i get him to only eat what he needs to eat & thats all.?

Babies cluster feed for many reasons, one being he doesn't feel good and nursing comforts him. If he wants to nurse, you will probably just have to deal with it until he's done being constipated and feeling better and making sure he stays eating will help that.

At the last appointment the pediatrician said EBF babies can't get truly constipated. But cluster feeding and fussiness is normal at 3 weeks. Maybe he has gas?

Breastfed babies at 3 weeks probably not constipation because they can go up to 3 to 4 days without pooping also cluster feeding is normal and he's eating what he needs.

Yeah now just wait till when he really poops. Lol my daughter can go up to 3 to 4 days and then when she actually pooped it's like almost a blowout.

Cause he was doing good. & just 2 nights ago he started doing that also i hate the fact that when we go to my mother In law house i hate how she says he only wants to be carried ,you always carry him thats bad bc you need to put him on his crib or swing or something not just carry him but i really dont just carry him i feed him,change him,once he goes to sleep after eating put him on his crib also sometimes he wont go to sleep & stay awake bc he is not full so i give him some more & then he goes to sleep

you should get one so when he does get into those stages where he wants to cluster feed or just be carried and soothe you can put a minute and you can do whatever else you need it comes in handy especially when you have stuff to do and you have another child have two other kids and I've used it for the last two I know they culsterto feed and sometimes need be carried to be soothed. Don't listen to your mother-in-law my mother-in-law was telling me my child was colicky when she was cluster feeding. Just now it will get better and I know you're tired but if you get a carrier or wrap so you can get stuff done or just lay down with the baby and let him eat.
