Baby bowels

[suzie_27]

Hey ladies, i haven't posted in a while, hope everyone and their bumps and babies are well! my lo is now 4 weeks old and he was suffering from really bad dioreaha yesterday and was put on dioralyte sachets, now he hasn't pooed for 12 hours and don't know if this is normal.... Does anyone have any experience of this??

Yeh its normal. Is he uncomfortable? If he is maybe a little tummy massage or warm bath. Last week my son went just over 24 hrs without although the first nappy after was pretty messy lol. I am not sure how long it is till its a concern but I think a few days is ok xx

Thanks for your reply, yeah hes uncomfortable its just took two hours to settle him, hes all snuffly too so that might be adding to his discomfort x

I've heard they can go up to a week before its a concern if they're breastfed although mine has never gone mire than 2-3 days. She started going a lot less around 4/5 weeks

Thanks ladies, hes very unhappy with it, he was crying from 330-630 and now for the past hour n half. If he carries on ill end up ringing for some medical advice, check that hes ok coz hes usualy pretty chilled :/
