My little boy is 16 days old & is bottle fed.
He had been regularly pooing multiple times a day since the day he was born up till he was 6 days old (may be worth mentioning he was on antibiotics for a day after he was born which could have affected his bowels) he then didn't poo until 4 days later, he has been pooing every few days since, & his poos appear as they were before he stopped pooing.
Since the day his poos stopped being so regular he has had daily outbursts of crying, straining, kicking his legs & then sucking on his hands. These episodes usually last around a minute, or so, he is then quiet for a few minutes then does the same again, this usually continues until he falls asleep which can be an hour or more. He also usually passes wind throughout these episodes. Could this be colic/constipation or anything else? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Kate
