Constipation

Nicole • Fri, Apr 01 • After having a miscarriage in February 2014, we just found out 7/9/15 I was expecting. We had our rainbow baby on March 20th, 2016! We are now going to start trying again to give our daughter a little brother or sister! ❤️

My LO is 3 weeks old and yesterday I noticed she was struggling to poop and hadn't pooped in a day and half. My sister who has 4 children suggested using a qtip with Vaseline on it and sticking in her anus and gently lubricating it. Well she immediately started pooping but it was VERY runny. That was at about 3 yesterday. She hasn't pooped since. And this morning she seemed to be in pain again while trying to poop. Right now she's on formula & breast milk because I'm not producing enough to keep up. Please help! What should I do?
