    Constipation, Colic and Reflux

    Hi Ladies,
    I am tearing my hair out at present as my little Lucy has all the above.
    Lucy is 8 weeks old and exclusively Breastfed. ( 6 weeks premmie ) Her nappies are very wet so supply is not an issue. And when she passes wind OMG you almost fall over backwards from the smell l!!!

    She is just sooooooo miserable and screams for a majority of the day. We have her on Losec, zantac and coloxal ( we were on suppositories but Dr said we could stop them ).


    What I am VERY uncertain about is the constipation as I was under the belief that babies did not get consitpated whilst Breastfed????? also when she opens her bowels they are not 'consipated poos' but noraml Breastfed poos. ( Who knew poo could be so interesting lol !!!)

    I just want to help her setlle as she is becoming more and more unsettled and the technique that worked yesterday does not today etc.... She just appears in soo much pain from the reflux can anyone give me anymore ideas on how to calm her??

    Thanks Em
