Constipation
Babies normally will pass bowel movements daily or the breastfed baby will pass several bowel movements daily. The Formula fed baby will pass a soft stool daily or every second day. But occasionally babies can have difficulty passing bowel movements due to many reasons. Formula fed babies are more prone to constipation compared to Breastfed babies. When a baby starts to eat solids sometimes there digestive system struggles and they end up with constipation.
Signs of constipation
Lots of crying, farting, bloating of the abdomen but no bowel movement, distressed trying
Passng hard stools
Passing little round hard droppings
Straining, Crying,
If concerned or unsure then always get your baby checked by a Doctor to get a diagnoses of the problem.
What we do know is that they can become very uncomfortable and parents end up using medical products because they get desperate with a screaming baby or child who is very uncomfortable.
Babies or Children who have trouble passing a bowel movement can be very unsettled and it is distressing for the baby/child and the parents! Don't be afraid of using full dose of products until your baby is passing regular bowel movements then this can be reduced and use as needed.
Here are some natural alternatives.
