constipation

Zodwa - Cereal/ solid foods at 16wks is considered a bit early. most experts suggest waiting till 6 months! So that might definitely be what is causing the constipation. His little system is only able to handle milk right now.
I breast fed my son, but at 10 days went onto forumla for 48hrs (per our paed) to rule out breastmilk jaundice and even a change that small caused him constipation. So please please think twice about the cereal?
Hope he feels better soon!

Cereal can constipate so maybe tryusing a probiotic everyday. If you don't come right then try fruit and veg Purity's.

Glycerine suppositories also work quickly.

He still has lots of wet nappies..
He finally pooped after midnight, gave his tummy a massage to encourage movement, gave him some water & he finally went.
he was straining but nothing was coming out, he wasnt crying though, just woke up every hour straining.....
I started him on rice cereal, then I googled it & some kids get constipated on it so Iv stopped using it

If your LO is constipated, it will be a bit of a strain to pass the stool. You can try Reuteri drops to help balance out the tummy bacteria.
Is he still having wet nappies?

Constipation will usually be hard little poo balls (like pebbles) that shows that the poo spent too much time in the intestines so the body reabsorbed most of the water/moisture and now it is difficult to pass.

My LG usually only went once ever second day and even then it was never really solid or sore to pass.

How do u know if baby is constipated?
My baby, didnt poop yest or today, the only thing that comes out is a little bit of water stained with poop, that happened yest & twice today
He normally poops once a day, he's on formula & is 16weeks
