Do I need to give her some boiled water?

FF is going well but May seems to have more tummy pain (could be wind, but infacol doesn't work and gripe water made her puke!!). She didn't poo for about 2 days then last night had a marathon and it was coming out all over the changing mat for ages (nice!) it wasn't hard.....kinda like peanut butter....anyway, do you think she needs some water and if so, how much do you give em and how often??

3 weeks is unfortunately a common time for colic to start up... Im not sure about giving a 4 week old water yet, I would ask your doctor. Do lots of tummy time, or lay her across your knees on her tummy and rub her back... that helps too.

This also happened to my LO. I was advised by my HV to offer cooled boiled water just before each feed. She doesn't take an awful lot maybe 2-3 swallows so it doesn't affect her feeding. It does help though and i have noticed a difference, one day i went without giving her any and she did get a little constipated.
Hope this helps xx
