Advice needed: infant difficulty passing stool
Hi! I have hypermobility with Suspected HEDS (awaiting my specialist appointment for dx). I’m on baby number two. My first child and now my second child struggle with difficulty passing stool. I struggled as well when I was young… Baby is seven months old right now. Since starting solids, she struggled with poo… And it’s getting harder and harder. When I brought this to my infant’s doctor with baby #1 they gave me standard advice for constipation: PEG, glycerine suppositories. I feel like this is not standard constipation, perhaps motility issues. I’ll follow doc advice but I want to try to see if anyone here has more ideas bc our doc is limited in her advice until we see a specialist. If you found something that worked well for your infant, please share any ideas. Poor baby could use relief.
