Just curious if anyone has any experience like this. DS is 18 weeks, exclusively breastfed, and has never had anything but infacol for a few weeks very early on.
We think he is starting to have pain in his gums now from possible teething. MIL and I both independently thought we felt something in the same spot in his mouth, and he's pulling off the breast and fussing a lot even though he is still hungry and goes right back to it. Also seems harder to settle at night, crying even though he's been fed, changed, and thoroughly winded.
So night before last we tried him on some Calpol to see if that would help (he'd been whinging inconsolably for about an hour). Then yesterday he didn't poo at all, which is definitely not normal for him. He always poos at least once, if not twice a day. It finally happened late this afternoon, and DH said it looked 'very runny and oily'.
So could Calpol do this? Make him stop pooing for a day and change the consistency?
