Hi I am new to Mumsnet having just had my 2nd child (baby boy) I am joining all the other mums out there for helpful advice.
My LO is 19 days old and has only poo'd twice after his initial black/green poo, he went quite well in 1st 2 days then it was 3 days then another 3 days and now hes onto his 4th day with nothing I can see and hear him trying with the odd skidmark here or there but no more.
The midwives told me he should be going alot more being breastfed they told me to try cool boiled water but then another midwife said that would only help if bottle fed.
they then advised me to go to the docs who prescribed movicol which we gave him for a couple of days before my health visitor told me to stop and that it should never have been prescribed.
So now its day 4 and i'm alittle concerned but don't seem to be getting any help from midwives or doctor, has anybody else had similar issues and what did you do to help it.
Many thanks in advance.
