Constipatuon station 😩😩😩
My 6 month old is having some strange constipation. It will not go away. I don't get it! We started puréed foods with her, we make it ourselves. It's simply just pure veggies or fruit, nothing added. She's been loving it. We have also started giving her a little water (doctor recommended) since she isn't drinking as much milk as before.
Still constipated. I've given catnip and fennel extract -which usually worked when she was younger- and nothing. I've even given one glycerin suppository because I was desperate. With that, we got out a bunch of pretty formed stool. It wasn't extremely hard but it obviously was hurting her. She's been straining so much to poop and it looks like it's so uncomfortable. I really really really do not want to give her fruit juices just yet but I think that's my next step 😔
Is there any other advice out there to relieve this stubborn constipation? I'm so disgruntled and I can't stand watching her strain so much to poop!
