Hi there,
My little one is 4 weeks old now and she is really struggling with her poo. We were fine for the first few weeks while I was only breast feeding but due to a number of reasons we have switched to combination, since then she has had trouble. We will have two days with three poos and then nothing for two days. On the second of those two days she is really grumpy and irritable, she cries everytime she tries to pass wind or poo.
I told the hv today and she said to give her some cooled boiled water which I have done but no luck!
I had a look at her today and her anus seemed very very read. I have put some cream on this and hopefully she will be more comfortable.
I wondered if anyone else had had the same and could offer some advice.
