Hi guys...
My baby was 7 weeks on Monday and has been exclusively bf with the occasional top up. (We were in hospital-Milk supply dropped-needed top up...) however, for the last 10 days he's been having a ff at 10.30pm and on Sunday he didn't have a bowel movement and was a grump all day. Monday he did 3 outstanding nappies - one required a change of clothes! And then yesterday he didn't have a bowel movement. He was so grumpy yesterday and has also been miserable all morning. I'm not sure whether it's the formula feed... however I am aware that some babies don't poo every day but he was a baby who was pooing 3-4 times a day. One of the reasons he was in hospital was because he had a hernia and on the day that this happened he didn't have a poo and was straining for most of the day.. I think this is probably worrying me too. I just hate him being so miserable. He was a really grumpy baby before he was taken into hospital and it became clear that this was before there were several health issues he was battling. When we got home we had a few days of him being totally different and happy but now we seem to be back to being unhappy :( any advice?
I've also thought about having a session with a cranial osteopath... my husband thinks I'm nuts! I just want to try every holistic approach to help him feel better. Does anyone have any experience of using one?
