well my baby girl still seems to be having tummy probs - appears to be strainng alot, goes bright red, grunts,cries out, wimpers and body goes really stiff ....seems to me to be in pain/discomfort and it is REALLY upsetting me as i can/t do anything about it i think it is linked to her going for a poo- she gets really unsettled/distressed for a while and it looks like she is trying to go - but i don't know if it is this as she does also poo without any probs sometimes too - i don't think she's constipated as when she does go it's very runny!
Have changed her milk from SMA (due to wind) to Aptamil as suggested. Now my health visitor has suggested giving her a little cooled boiled water to push any wind through and to help her to poo - i said this to Midwife who said that she should not be having water so young - she is 2 1/2 weeks old - what do you girls think?
Does water help with poo/tummy ache? Also Aptamil do a milk called easy digest - do you think that may help? Again, am getting conflicting advice - Mid wife said to try it - health visitor said to avoid keep swapping milks!
This tummy/poo prob also seems worse in the evenings - and much worse through the night - why?
Has anybody else experienced this?
Also her poo is VERY runny and bright yellow with what looks like pips in - normal?
Have baby blues at mo and this is really worrying/upsetting me so please help me if you can
Forgot to say, have been using infacol but will this actually help if tummy ache/pain is linked to needing a poo rather than wind?
