DD needs to poop .. really badly .. the last few days she has just sharted alot ..and in alot of pain ..

I have given her brown sugar and water , and its done nothing ...

Also i have given her a massage to relieve consiptation .. once yesterday and twice today , I cant do it anymore than twice in a day so now i need to try something else ...


I massaged her before her nap and she woke about 25 mins after in pain and smelling of poo .. i thought she had done it ... but it was only a little nugget

as i was massaging her again i could see the poo trying to come out ... and she would push and grunt to get it out but it would budge ..

i have held her upo right for gravity to help .. but nothing ..

she keeps pushing but nothing happens .. her bottom is so very red and sore ...

I thought about a laxative , but IME coloxal doesnt work well ... and a suppositry , i dont have any one me but if the poo is just there i dont think it would go in ..


how long do i leave it before i go to the docs ... its been well over a week but she has been doing nuggets so im not sure if thats classed as a poo or not in their eyes ...

HELP ... my poor dd is screaming soo much !!

oh she is 8 mths old , so i dont know if i can really give her anything too strong ...
