My daughter is 10 weeks old, she was breastfed for the first 4 weeks but I had to stop as I found it difficult due to having a 2 year old aswell.
At first she used to poop fine by herself but from about 3 weeks she will stop her poo coming out, she will straighten her legs n tense her bum. I have had to resort to helpin her by putting the tip of a cotton bud into her bum, she will go then and the poop is quite runny, yellow with little bits in it. I have spoke to my HV but she doesnt seem that worried, but im worried if i keep having to resort to the cotton bud she will never go by herself, i have changed her milk n even put her on aptimel comfort for constipated babies but this didnt do anything either! Any advice would be appreciated as i never had this with my son! He never had any problems n I hate seeing my lil girl in pain!
