5 week old wont stop crying

If the baby cries constantly, it could be something more than just constipation.

You were given a lot of great tips for that issue, but colic is often the result of something else. Was your baby delivered by forceps by any chance? If so, he may need to have his neck re-aligned.

I agree with dusty girl. A lot of babies to struggle with constipation. Take your son to your doctor or pharmacist and ask them what they recommend.

a lot of babies are constipated when they are really young.. Consult with his doctor first… but they have baby supositories.. probably spelled that wrong… but my sister had to have them when she was born… and she also had collic.. but make sure you check with a doctor before you do anything! If nothing else, call a local hospital and ask them what to do.

Here’s some tricks we used for Noah when he was constipated:

-Take his feet against the palms of your hands - have him push with his legs against your palms - this helps everything work it’s way down and makes him push it out. -Caro Syrup (the dark one) - put a teaspoon into a 4 ounce bottle - it will help him go to the bathroom -1 teaspoon of prunce juice - in 3 ounces of water - it will help him go to the bathroom also.

I’m also a first time mom, and my fiance’s sister had a baby before I did. for my baby shower she made me a “survival kit”. In it was the Little Remidies Little Tummies. When ever my son is feel constipated or gasey, I just give him a little bit and do what ever soothes him best until it begins to work. Until it starts to work, just try to keep him calm. It will help him go.

no he wasnt delievered byforceps.thank you all for your advice.I talked to my doctor and he said that it might be the formula so I switched it and it seems to be working a little bit.I also used the little tummies and that seems to work too.thank you for your help.
