my 13 week old has for the last week been soley on formula - he has heinz nurture gold then he got constipated - 3 days no poop then i moved his legs etc gave him water and he eventually went it was fairly firm and he screamed his heart out when he did it, i gave him some coloxyl infant drops - advice from the pharmisct..... he went this morning and it was failry runny, Now approx every 5 or so minutes he screams in agony and has episodes for approx 1 1/2 hours at a time...
I dont know whats wrong and its breaking my heart that i cant do anything to take away his pain...
Hi there , sending you a big hug, maybe give him some panadol, or some kind of pain releif, and maybe see the doc tomorrow, do you have a health line you can ring and ask. sorry if i am not much help.
Yeah we do i was thinking about riunging them ... i have given him some bruar colic relief thinking it may be that - hes sleeping now and hasnt woken up in pain so im hoping fingers crossed that its working..... i also read that those coloxyl infant drops can cause stomach cramps and spasms - so now i m not sure if it was that because that is kind of what it seems to be like - he screams in agony then hes ok then again every 5 minutes or so....
thanks for the hug i need it - it hurts so much to see them in pain and looking at you with such a look of desperation as if to say "please mummy help me" and you cant help them ....
Hi meegm
It sounds like your baby may have colic. There is no proven cure for colic but a few things that may help reduce it are:
Try a formula not based on cows milk.
Reduce the amount of stimulation such as jiggiling and constant noise.
Reduce loud noises.
Thanks Alan - i was thinking it may be the formula but he has been on formula and BFeeding for the last 4 weeks until this week when i toltally stopped Bfeeding and it had been ok up until now when he is on full formula... when you say not based on cows milk do you mean like a soy type formula ?
Someone please help me
