constipation

[steffy]

Hi girls. Abi has been screamin the house down since 5 this morning. She hasn't had a dirty nappy for 2 days. Anything I can do to help nature along? I'm sure this is why she is so unsettled as she is realli pulling her legs up into her tummy x

Sounds like trapped wind hun if she is pulling her legs up to her chest

Are you breast feeding?

Have a look on you tube for colic massage - this really helps harry with his wind. MAy also be worth getting some infacol if its a persistent problem as this can help with the wind.

Newborn babies don't always poo every day - they can go up to a week, but as long as sh'es producing plenty of wet nappies a day she won't be constipated.

Its hard to know they're unsettled but try the tummy massage xx

I am expressing some milk and then topping up with forumla. My milk hasn't realli produced - I only get about 2 feeds off a day - mw thought this way due to my big blood loss. Have been on the infacol and anti - colic botttles for a few days as she just couldn't bring up her wind so health visitor suggested these.
I've given her a bit of water, so shall see what this does. Thanks girls xx
