Please help a mumma out
I had my baby boy 4 weeks early.
He was doing okay, he was on sma on the hospital, day 4 we came hlme and we got lidl's brand, which was fine for 1 week, then he became constipated and started pooing hard balls and was in alot of pain. We changed the milk to aptimol which he then had a normal poo, but after a day he was in pain again and hard poops again. He is now 2 weeks and 3 days and still in pain, i toom him to A&E and they gave him half of a glycerin suppository which made him poo (a normal soft poo) witbjn 10 mins, however we are back to square 1 and now the poos are tiny and have brown in them.

Its so upsetting to see how much pain he is in. I have tried everything, massages, leg cycles, warm baths, small amount of cooled boiled water, aptimols ready made bottles, dentinox. He still passes wind fine but i think his poos are so hard he is struggling. I am at a loose end i dont know what to do to make him better, he cant settle because his tummy pains :(
Please help
