Infant constipation
My 3 month old exclusively BF baby has been constipated for over 3 weeks. She is very uncomfortable and cries in pain.
I have had to use a q tip or suppository once a week for the last 3 weeks to get her to poop. The poop is very thick and very sticky, lighter brown color. Last time she pooped was 9 days ago. I took her yesterday to the hospital (in Costa Rica) and the pediatrician had left for the day. The ER DR did X-rays and gave us suppositories for the next 8 days!
