She became all red when she tried to pass but in .vein
All the medicines and drops you are giving cause constipation. Your constipation has nothing to with her constipation.
its normal for breastfed babies, this has nothing to do with lying in cot, relax yourself, if she is crying while passing stool or the stool is hard, you can try skilax drops 5 drops once a day.
breastfeed babies if not passing stool for even 10 days nothing to worry just see that tummy is soft passing gases not continuously vomiting
sometimes hypothyroidism in infants and low serum calcium can cause persistent constipation
do better to feed child after Every two hours burp the baby and do his thyroid screening done and give d max drops 2 drops daily for 6 weeks and continue any topic drops
For this much little baby, only glycerin suppository is safe. bf babies can take 10 days to pass stool but if the tummy is soft and she is active nothing need to be done
