how to give my LG Gripe water?

Hi Lollipop

she actually has a soiled nappy after almost every feed. She just strains to get it out! The consistency well will have to keep an eye on that but I will get the Glycerine Suppositries just to have around the house

Thanks

If she goes red it doesn't necessarily mena she is constipated, rather judge it on the consistency of the poo, and the regularity (remember that bf babies can go up to 10 days without a soiled nappy)...it is entirely possible, even for BF babies to be constipated m21, if you think it is getting a bit serious, you can get glycerine supositories...they work within 20 min! Or Laxette..I personally prefer the suppositoris though...one less thing I need to get down baba's throat
Glad to hear the winds and cramps are better

Hi Ladies

So the winds and cramps are getting better! I expressed her night feed day before yesterday to try the telament colic drops and well that didnt help. SO next was the Bennets Colic mixture plus Gripe water and it seems to help she is not as uncomfortable anymore. I am getting the Buscopan and Pr0biotic drops today and will start those this evening! Thanks ladies for your help.

1 quick question, is it possible for a breastfed baby to be constipated, she seems to strain and go red before she goes

shame mommy21 let us know how it goes

Morning, my daughter struggled a lot with tummy cramps - right up untill 3 months! Telament drops/gripe water did nothing for her. The only thing that worked was Bennets Colic mixture. It is for colic as well as tummy cramps. It's in a cherry flavour and works like a bomb-works almost instantly! It even helps them sleep a little better.

thanks ladies.

I am willing to try anything right nw! I wil get the buscopan, reutri drops nd the tissue salts nd try all of them.

I hate seeing my lg in so much discomfort.

Gripe water helps for winds as well. Drop a few drops in the bottle with formula or breastmilk.
