My DS (5 weeks) has been straining for the last few days, as if hes constipated, although he's pooing fine once/twice a day, so I think he has trapped wind...?
Hes breastfed, and i've given him gripe water which I'm not sure is helping. I've since looked up both gripe water and infacol and found that they are both scientifically dubious medicines anyway. I dont want to give him medicine for the sake of it.
I had a takeaway curry on the weekend, is it a myth that it will affect my milk? Could this be whats making him uncomfortable?? :(
His latch has been checked before and is fine, though I will ask the HV to double check when she comes on Friday. however he does seem to gulp his milk really fast... 99% of the time he gets a nice big burp out after his feed, though sometimes he'll burp in the middle and not after.
Can anyone help?
The HV told me it didnt sound like colic when she last came btw, as it comes and goes throughout the day?
