Newborn constipation, what can I do?
Congratulations on your baby. Your question is a very common one. It is hard to see your baby uncomfortable and that is very understandable. However, you did not mention in your comment the consistency of her stools. Constipation is defined as infrequent, hard and painful stools. She didn't have a BM for 2 days, but when she does go, it is soft, seedy, mushy, liquidy, pasty or small balls? Most breast fed babies have frequent stooling, but some have one or one every a few days. That does not make them abnormal as long as what is being passed is soft. The babies due cry in order to increase the pressure in the abdomen to push the stools out. It doesn't necessarily mean it is painful. Every child have a different bio-rhythm in terms of how often they defecate, so do not worry if she takes a couple of days to go. You do not need to give her any medication at he present time, but you can give her Mylicon for gassiness. Mylicon does not make her more constipated. It is not absorbed in the body and is very safe. I hope this helps. READ MORE
