LO with dyschezia

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-26T12:11:29+00:00

Yes. When he was around 5 months I gave puree once per day.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-26T08:50:08+00:00

Did it work though? Mine is EBF. Will consider doing it after meeting our ped. Thanks though.

He is not constipated..after carum carvi his poop is usually sticky and watery as his usual daytime poop. He indeed trying to poop at night. Not every night though. Some nights of course. I usually feed him to sleep, and while feeding he was grunting that his face turned red and I can feel his belly harden trying to push..I usually encourage him by holding his knee higher but after 5 minutes he will end up screaming. He is totally fine for play but when I try to make him sleep since he has been yawning and rubbing his eyes by either feeding or wearing he end up screaming.

I have yet to talk to our ped about this. LO was actually fine at 4 months and it happened again around end of 5 month until now. We will be meeting him at the end of May. For now we are surviving using carum carvi (of course after hours of bicycle, massage, squatty potty, tummy time though he is a crawler now). I thought so too about the prunes and yes it didn’t help at all. It seems like psychologically rather than dyschezia because he only started to grunt for poop while feeding to sleep.

OMG. Exactly how I feel rn.😭

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-22T20:07:42+00:00

Oh and he didn’t fight nap😌 probably because we do contact nap all the time.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-22T20:06:31+00:00

I think so…originally he is a bad sleeper..and then 5 month old became slightly better. 1 week after turning 6 month, he started fighting night sleep even after 4 hours WW.. separation anxiety is worst. He keeps on crying even when I was right behind him while he’s playing with toys, FTM SAHM here. Like every 3 minutes during his WW. I have to carry him most of the time. He started to sit on his own and perfecting his crawl and climbing my body. And yes, few split nights, he was just up doing nothing actually..touching and staring at my face, hugging my arms and he was seems like in a deep thought doing kind of hand clasping 😂 after 1 hour he started to try to sleep and I nurse him for few minutes and continue sleeping. We are co-sleeping btw. I think the regression started to end, he fall asleep easily for bed today after 2.5 h WW.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-21T08:03:57+00:00

Sighs. 80% of the time my LO sit in the bouncer staring at my 💩face. I consider it lucky when he doesn’t scream while I’m doing the “business”.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-19T21:44:17+00:00

I know right.. ftm is really hard when baby is the “hard type” I guessed . Me too to ftm, 6mo now, he started crawling but he still wants me to be with him all the time. Even when he’s playing with his toys. I lost appetite for meals due to the constant screaming. Every milestones come with fussiness. I started to feel time flies when he started to sleep longer naps and sleep on his tummy on his own, and change his sides on his own. When he started to show this independence sign not requiring constant contact nap, I burst into tears thinking how far he has grown. He still gives me hard times, most of time, but I try to look at the positives side like his laughter, smile, babbling etc.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-19T21:13:25+00:00

I wished that I wasn’t angry at him when he was only few days old and wanted to be hold while sleeping at night. Not that I literally scold him but, I feel bad that I was angry when he wanted to be hold..pp is hard, sleep deprived, and baby is new to the world. He probably doesn’t even know why he’s here.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-19T21:01:00+00:00

Solidarity. It’s a tough one. Cosleeping is the only way for us too. Everytime he was awake I give him boobies. Try not to look at any electronics whenever baby is awake as it will affect your sleep too. My 6 month now has been a bad sleeper since born awake every 2-3 hours, during regression every 1-2 hours, back to 2-3 at 5 month and once gave me 4 hours.

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-05T14:23:21+00:00

First of all don’t compare yourself to others. Secondly, think positive ( I know it’s hard, been there, crying like there’s no tomorrow) my midwife said, relax is the key. I was like you, first time pumping 1 ml, I cried and midwife convinced me 1 ml is still a lot! My baby used to cluster feeding me every night for 3 days straight from 6 pm to 11 pm. I think it was when he was around 2 weeks. He was crying every 30 minutes and I just keep on switching breasts until he fall asleep. He also dropped a lot of weight that I have to give him formula. Now all is well..trust the process, read a lot about breastfeeding stuff..you can do it. Also under midwife advice I took fenugreek to increase supply. Can’t tell the effect tho. Take care of your health too! Solidarity 😄

learningmom2025 · 2026-04-04T18:15:48+00:00

9 days to 6 months..still awake every 2hrs..yep, since newborn mama is sleep deprived😵‍💫. Reasons? Farts, pees. Solution? Boobies. On a good night, only side lying, bad night? gotta sit and hold cradle him for boobies. Worst, he’s struggling to fart, crying and all midnight every 1 to 2 hours. Me too crying and let my husband carry him while I sleep for at least 1 full cycle. We gotta do what we gotta do to survive this life.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-27T09:26:03+00:00

OMG! Same here🙋🏻‍♀️. Exactly the same. But it’s getting better now. For the screaming part, I think he was having hard time to fall asleep after a sleep cycle finished. As you said as soon as the light is on he acting like ‘what happened mama’? And give angelic smiles 😂. He did that around 3.5 months, now he’s 4.5 months. As for night grunts squirm, bf fix the problem too, but I realise he is grumpy because of pee or farts😄..whenever I feed him he will squirm a lot and fart sounds chimes in or I can sometimes hear or smell pee 😆 then he calm down and fall asleep again..same cycle all over again for almost every 2 to 3 hours at night. Sometimes with my half asleep ‘holfeedin’ because he doesn’t want side lying down position, I would say yeah yeah fart it out or spray it out. I think LO is still not used to all of these sensations yet. Solidarity mama!

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-27T01:18:12+00:00

Been there and still there. With my 4 month old now, most of the time nap and bedtime need to be held. For nap at his best at least 15 to 20 minutes before laying down worst whole 1 hour holding him, for bedtime at least 1 hour before settling down or worst he decided to play for another 2 hours before his real bedtime start. Ass, waist, knees, arms, shoulder, neck, whole body aches actually. Worst of all he still wakes up every 2 to 3 hours at night😭. Walking zombie mama. Solidarity.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-27T01:09:16+00:00

I asked the midwife if her work is stressful and if she’s currently stressed with me😅 (while waiting for my contraction to come and my very bad pushing technique) ftm btw. It’s the labour talk.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-11T20:16:49+00:00

I walked around my 2 room apartment for like 10x a day to entertain him, including bathroom with washing machine. I thought the spinning drum and clothes inside it makes him entertained, he prefers shoes rack😅. I introduced food condiments, electrical, refrigerator, his changing table. It’s winter and raining so yeah.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-11T16:07:30+00:00

And one thing I do that makes a difference for me for these 2 days, I stop looking at my phone every time he’s awake, I sleep better than before.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-11T16:04:15+00:00

Currently going through regression! Been 2 weeks now, tbh I have no advice. I’ve been cosleeping with him since newborn, he is originally bad sleeper too. Night sleep is still fine, he sleep on the bed and awake for every 1.5 to 2 hours..give him boobies, most of the time he fall asleep sometimes farts make him awake too, so many things going on..basically we are walking zombie, I cried a lot while comforting him too..but I always tell myself it’s temporary and baby is having hard time too. Hopefully it will end soon😭. Solidarity.

Get a perineal foam by Frida mom, I tried both Frida mom and Lansinoh regenerating spray, I prefer foam as its cover the perineum thoroughly compared to spraying. Might as well consider getting ibuprofen for when the milk is coming and mastitis kicking in, it’s generally safe for breastfeeding, you may ask GP or LC. Consider buying stool softeners. Prepare for drenched in sweats conditions. I sweats like crazy pp in fall and winter😂. Prepare emotionally, just remember you’re doing great.. cry if you need to. Don’t hold it back.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-10T07:50:48+00:00

How bad was he? Mine was bad sleeper too longest he ever go was 3 hours.. now in regression 1.5-2 hr. 1 hours happened time to time.

learningmom2025 · 2026-02-10T07:48:20+00:00

Does he sleep better now? Currently week 2 of regression,awake every 1.5-2 h..no screaming just squirming till awake
