7 week old constipated

Hello, my 7 week old is going two/three days without pooing but this times seems in a lot of discomfort and apart from when she’s sleeping is crying/screaming. We’ve tried lots of bicycle legs/massages etc which is relieving wind but still no poos. I have given her a tiny amount of cooled boiled water but I’m on the fence about this. She is formula fed (cow and gate) and up until the last week or so had been going once a day. We have also given her infacol. Any suggestions?

Speak to your health visitor

I agree to speak to your Health Visitor. Some areas have specialist feeding Health Visitors which might be worth trying to speak to. It may be the formula isn’t agreeing with her.

Maybe put a little more water in the milk. Its hot weather so maybe she needs a little more fluid.
