Constipation? How likely

4 replies

DD is 25 weeks, breastfed on demand and in the last week has been happily munching on bits of fruit and veg. We've also given her some mashed veggies on a spoon (although not a lot as she's feeding herself and it's mostly ending up on the floor) anyway. Last night we had 2 wakings (not unusual) but she sounded like she was straining to poo on both occassions. During the day yesterday she did the same although we did have two dirty nappies she did a fair amount of straining. They were still very loose but evidence of her bannana and carrot consumption was there for all to see. We have been giving her a beaker of water with her food and she has been drinking too so is it very likely that she's a bit constipated or am I flapping? I don't know how easy it is to bung babies up when you first start weaning them.

Thanks

Hi GN, just giving you a bump.

For what its worth my DD always seems to strain a lot and then sometimes theres a lot in her nappy sometimes just a bit. I'm having a stress with this weaning malarky!!!

Thanks CC, Yeah, saw your other thread. Maybe it's a firt timer thing but I've never felt so bleeding stressed in my life

Can you express for your lo btw or are you totaly ff now?

Totally ff now I'm afraid, and left with some saggy boobs to boot . If I ever work up the courage to go through this again will defo keep up the b/f through the weaning bit. FF is rank, it smells bad so no surprise she won't have it really.

DISCLAIMER - Apologies to any ff mums,am not saying ff is bad. IMO b/f tastes and smells better than ff, dd clearly agrees with me on this too
