Hi my ds seems to be constipated, this has been a problem on and off now for about three weeks.
It started off with him going about 3 days without pooing. Eventually he did manage to go and he seemed fine for about a week and then it started again. He would try to poo a number of times throughout the day but with no effect. I tried orange juice which seemed to help a little. He does'nt drink a lot. maybe a full cup of juice a day, i still breastfeed him so maybe that has something to do with it. When he tries to poo he automatically sits down, it must be more difficult to pass anything when he's like that. Sometimes there is a little staining of poo in his nappy when he's been trying. He also does'nt seem to try for long enough, he strains for a few seconds then gets distracted and stops. This is really beginning to get to me, i suffer from health anxiety and i'm trying not to imagine that something serious is wrong with him. At the moment he has'nt passed a proper poo since saturday when he went twice. He was also sick on saturday night and has'nt been eating much for a while so probably not much there to push out.
just hoping that there others who can relate to this and advise what to do. I did mention it my HV but did'nt really find her very helpful.
