My 5 week DS has had real problems pooing for the last few weeks. He goes bright red, puts in loads of effort straining bless him but gets nowhere. This makes him really upset, he gets panicky, seems to have stomach pains, flails his arms and legs around, draws knees to chest then arches back and screams. The pedatrician has said is common and has advised us to give him a type of natural suppository, basically a camomile based liquid that we syringe into his bum which is brilliant and gets him pooing within minutes. When he does go he isnt constipated-issue is more he doesnt seem able to get it out himself! Am getting worried though as dont really want to give him this stuff more than once a day but today has been a mare. He wont be put down, is crying, seems in pain and yet he only had a dose this morn. Has anyone else had experience of this? Any advice or reassurances out there? Oh yeah-he has awful wind too.Spends most of day farting. Wakes himself up with it in the night.
