First of all apologies if this post is all over the place, new baby sleep deprivation is kicking in!
My 12 day old DD has been crying and screaming since approx 6pm. She has not done a poo today but plenty of wet nappies, could she be constipated?! If so what can I give her to help? It's heartbreaking to see her like this.
If it helps she is on 7/8 feeds a day, 2 formula 5/6 expressed milk/breast feed (with nipple shields as she refuses to latch onto the breast, using the shields on advice from breast start).
I have tried putting her to the breast for a comfort feed but she is too worked up and upset. I am at a loss at what to do! My MW and health visitor are unavailable until Monday, will go to walk in centre if necessary tomorrow.
WWYD? Tia
