ok..my LO will be 7weeks this comeing tuesday, i breastfed for alomst 2 weeks (my milk supply never really came in i basicly dried up after it came in) she was started on gerber gental from the time she was about 2 and a half weeks till she was 5ish weeks then became really constipated so bad she spits up her formula and crys up to 4 hours. so i started asking for some ideas to releive this prob and those were by the dr said to substitue 4oz water for one feeding  2oz of pear or apple juice a day  an extra ounce of water a day to family and friends saying karo water leg pumps   rubbing her stomach, baby supositories only seem to work. my SIL has a lil boy and he had same prob and tried everything but her dr had given him something to put into his drinks to help but thats not a possiablity for my LO either, we have even tried watered down pruine juice. we are on our 3rd formula thats over $30 a can and i am praying this works and if not i am going to request that her dr do some tests  to have this resolved.  dureing early morning she is fine but after about 1ish she is a complety diff baby crying  always changeing her position to give her comfort im up till 130am at times to try and get her to sleeo and when she does  sleep its anywhere 5-7 hours a night...im out of ideas and everyone is out of advice. any onther suggestions  would be wownderfull because this mom is getting very worried and stressed, i do know bottle bef babies poop less but  my LO is going more then 24 hours and thats not her normal self before this all happend

    since we started supplementing formula 3x's a day while I am at work, my daughter only poops every 3 to 4 days.  the doctor said it is normal and as long as the poop is soft and NOT dry and hard that it is not a problem.  your baby may be fussy because she gassy or just colicky.  babies go through that until about 8 to 12 weeks when things start to level out.  what is the consistancy of the poop?  that is the thing to worry about.  constipation is based on consistancy not frequency.

    My 1st little one was the same way she eventually had to go on Miralax every other day and it made a world of difference!
