hi i was talking to my h/v about this today as 1 of my twins was having problems aswell,she said i could try abit of pure apple or orange juice with the boiled water,it seems babies prefer the apple as its a little sweeter.
hiya my first child nw 20months old was bottle fed an had the same problem i have not long found out that he may need an operation to stretch his bowel as he has been on strong medicine for a while now and its not helping much , my 2nd child also 14 weeks old is breastfed and poos regularly however i tried him with a bottle of formula milk once and this had the same affect on him , so maybe if u cut out the bottle at night it may help ,, hope this is of use to u xx
My 14week old baby is only having a dirty nappy every 4-5 days, last week she went 7 days before she had one! She struggles with pain and wind for a day or 2 before hand and when her bowel moves the stools are not hard as you would expect for constipation but soft and "soupy". She is breastfed but has 1 bottle of formula at bed time. I've tried cooled boiled water and my GP suggested baby rice but I'm afraid that will make her worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
