Hello,
My formula fed baby is six days old and I think he’s constipated.
He’s gone from doing about 4-5 poos a day (the runny, seedy kind) to 2 firmer play dough textured poos. I’m feeding his Aptamil.
He appears to be in pain too. It’s horrible to see.
I heard that cooled boiled water can help. Does anyone know how to prepare this? Do I just pour the boiled water into a sterilised bottle and wait for it to cool? I’m just concerned that limescale in the kettle might affect him if it gets out?
Also, any idea how much I should give him?
Any advic very much appreciated!
Thanks
Sophie
