my baby girl is 7 days old and has been having very bad trapped wind bordering on colic. we started using infacol which has been a real life saver and is doing the trick.
but she seems to be constipated. i have heard that this can be a side effect of infacol and we havent had a dirty nappy for 2 days now and every now and then she strains like she is trying to poo, but nothing has come of it, just wind. it doesnt seem to be overly bothering her, although she does have a little whinge when she is trying iygwim (once we got the trapped wind sorted she is a very laid back baby!)
so when do i start to worry about her not having a dirty nappy (there are lots and lots of wet ones) the midwife is next coming on monday, is it ok to wait that long to talk to someone or do i need to do something sooner?
i know i can be slightly pfb with her and dont want to be ringing midwife's or health visitors if its nothing to worry about and will work its self out.
