Our 5 week old breastfed baby is 5 weeks old and seems to be constipated- no poo with lots of smelly wind.
She had no poo for 5 days so gave one dose of coloxyl which got things going- a very runny poo was result.
But now 2 days on we have had no more poo but still smelly wind. She is getting enough fluids and seems quite content although does seem to be ‘pushing’ often trying to get something out….
Could this mean a food intolerance or is it ok for a baby of this nature/age to be constipated?
