    Really common. And ouchy! Do all those things that will keep your poop nice and get-outable, like eating fibre, kiwifruit, sultanas...what else does it? And DRINK!!! Water water water! If you're breastfeeding, and recovering from birth, you will get easily dehydrated and that is a big part of the problem. So for the meantime avoid diuretic drinks (which encourage water to leave your body) like tea, coffee, coke and focus on water, cordial, juice (if you're bfing too much OJ can give bub nasty acidic nappy rash, trust me I learned the hard way with my first bub!), and milky drinks.

    If it's really that bad, you might need to nick to the chemist/supermarket for something like metamucil or a suppository.

    Sounds like you are a little dehydrated. Pear juice works a treat - supermarkets sell it in a bottle and it works fairly quickly to help soften things up.

    AHH! Sam! You brilliant woman, I forgot about pear juice! I drank heaps after my second bub (it was over a year ago in my defence), and it was great. At my local stores it came in a tin, for some reason.
