Infant dyschezia- anyone else struggling?

Following

Hiya 💕 - my son had this as well when he was 2-3 weeks old. It was also driving me crazy and making me really sad as I felt helpless. He would strain a lot, cry and lift his legs to aid his digestion. Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding? You can try to change a few things to see if it helps. We had to change bottles and as I combi feed I changed the formula I used for his top ups. Infacol is good for newborns, this helped us and now we use Gripe Water sporadically as he is over a month. Try to burp him often and also try infant massage? My boy is now six weeks and it is much better. It will pass but just a few suggestions to see if it will help you x

My boys had this for about 2 weeks now and it doesn’t seem to be going away 😩 so annoying, he does it all through the night and I feel so sorry for him! He doesn’t cry just lies there straining, but it frustrates him because he’s tired and wants to sleep but he’s grunting and straining like mad, and he keeps me awake doing it. He goes bright red in the face. He is nearly 5 weeks now. Google says can continue until they are 3 months 😭😭
