Looking for advice:
My little boy really struggled with constipation. He really has to strain to pass a bowel movement to the point his face is going red - and now at times nothing is coming out. He has been out of sorts since Thursday because of it and has started passing his bm’s in the bath 😬. Any suggestions on what I can give him to help go? Cool boiled water doesn’t help. Unwanted presents in the bath aren’t ideal but at least he is going 😬

how about fresh orange juice with boiled cooled down water?, my daughter has kinda always struggled going and my HV mentioned the orange juice so depending what oz he’s on for example
My daughter was on 4oz and she’d have 1oz of fresh orange juice with 3oz of boiled cooled down water x

I have tried it but obviously not enough orange juice in it. He drank 4oz today but I didn’t quite put an oz of fresh orange in. More of a splash. Will try again tomorrow with more juice.

it’s worth a shot, if not could you contact the doctors maybe? They may be able to give him something if he’s still struggling

Hey, take him to the doctor and they will be able to give you something for the constipation, I work in a nursery and we usually get children with powder to put in drinks as a laxative x

Thanks 😃 maybe that’s what he needs. I have previously contacted the HV but haven’t had a response. Shouldn’t be as hard as it is for him to go 😬

Yeah with a little boy we gave him extra fruit juice and used his laxative, he still had ongoing problems though bless him x

Get a pouch of prunes that’s sort him out and put an extra OZ water in his bottle until he goes xx

Prune juice always worked for my little boy.

Definelty take him to the doctors, my son had this and was first prescribed lactose syrup and then movicol, which he is still on and he is seeing a pediatrician.
