Hi, looking for a little advice really. My little girl is 7 weeks old and combination fed. She's pretty much on 50% ebm and 50% formula (aptimal first milk).
From the off she's been a very windy baby and we've been using colic for 4 weeks and I think it helps her to pass wind.
She's never pooed more than once a day, but the past week to 10 days she's only been having a poo every other day and gets quite upset when it's 'due'. She's definitely due a poo just now and she seems to be suffering gripey pains and is crying and grizzling constantly.
When they poo they are soft, but there is a lot of them. They are a bit 'toothpaste' in texture which I'm led to believe is normal for a combination fed baby.
Does anyone have experience of constipation? Does it sound normal for a 7 week old? I don't want to rush her to the doctor if it sounds like normal, but I'm struggling to see my little sweetie upset.
