It's annoying her!

[Lil C]

Lo has poo'd once in the last 24 hrs and all night she's been restless as though she's trying to sqeeze. Anything I can do to help her? I'm shattered so she must be too!!

my lo has always had trouble poo'ing. we do cycling motion with his legs, push his knees up against his tummy and rock him back and forth / side to side, and rub his tummy in a clockwise circle from the bottom of rib round down to the smile crease, and scoop downwards from his ribs to the smille crease, like you're scooping sand... if that makes sense!

hope you find something that works!

thank u for replying, I had to leave b4 I read your reply earlier and as it happened when we got home at 6pm I put her in her swing chair and it helped her to fill her nappy (and more lol)!! I'll try your methods next time but maybe u could try this with your lo as the same thing happened yesterday too. Must be the position they sit in maybe...

thanks! i'll try! the other thing i thought of his sucking - dummy / my finger / his hand seems to help!

Don't know whether your baby is too young at the moment but I swear by using a bumbo seat. Archie has always had trouble pooing but you can guarantee if I put him in his bumbo he will go!

We were told to use infacol before each feed worked a treat.
