Hi everyone
They are probably threads already similar to this one, but I am so tired that I cant really be bother reading them, so please excuse me if I am asking a question that already has been asked.
By lovely little placid boy, has had a tough week, and even a tougher day. Travis has had a cold for a couple of days, but is getting better. He hasnt done a poo since tuesday so I am worried he is constipated. He is now fully bottlefeed, it has been a couple of days since his last breastfeed. Thats a little bit of history, now with the main concern: today he woke up for his lunch feed, but was very upset, wouldnt take the bottle would take maybe do one suck and cry, wouldnt calm down with the dummy either, he did eventually calm down probably after 1/2 hour and had a proper feed maybe 2 hours later. Now during that really restless time, my gut instinct was that he was in pain, I thought it was either teeth I know he is young but his gums are a swollen and he has just started dribbling, or constipation. Anyway during that time, he did do a couple of big burps which seem to help. Now after he had his feed we had a 2 -3 hour sleep, then he woke up extremely upset, again my gut instinct was pain, I gave him a bath he generally loves them but he just cried and cried, I rang a friend (a fellow bub hubber) whos little girl has had problems with constipation, anyway I was thinking of taking him to the hospital but I was going to drop Aden off at her place first. Just before we left home, Travis did the biggest burp, and by the time we got there he was settled. Now most of the time I didnt think it was wind/colic because it didnt feel like it, he has had it before so did Aden, they would both pull them selves up into little balls then stretch out then ball again. But this just didnt feel like colic.
Sorry to ramble on I hope this makes sense and if you got this far you have done well. Travis is normally a few quiet baby, but today is so out of character for him. Does anyone have any ideas??
