Hello everyone! Girls, has anyone used suppositories for constipation before 3 months? We sometimes experience periods when I can't help at all, and I have to use an enema. I believe that enemas can be harmful, and glycerin suppositories are only recommended from 3 months. Is it possible to start using suppositories a little earlier than 3 months?

Их с рождения можно насколько помню. А так мы пользовались газоотводной трубочкой, она помогала прокакаться

Так их с рождения можно использовать. Дочь старшая недоношенная, так в роддоме еще ставили чтобы в туалет сходила

Use glycerin suppositories only after three months. For infants younger than that, try gentle methods such as tummy massage, warm compresses, and dietary adjustments. Always consult your pediatrician before using any remedies.

Since birth, I have been using gas relief techniques. At the hospital, they used gas relief methods, and at home, I have been practicing gas drops and massage.

Nika For some reason, the gas relief method didn't help me (maybe I'm not applying it correctly, I'm not sure). I do massages and bend my legs, and then I can barely pass gas. It takes a long time of trying to help her go naturally without any invasive methods (sorry). But sometimes, my daughter really struggles and cries so much that it makes me feel terrible. In those moments, I give her an enema.

Marisha Poletaeva Are you massaging your baby before the gas relief procedure? We usually did a gentle massage for about 5-7 minutes before proceeding. The tube itself is inserted for no more than a minute while gently pushing. There is a complete instruction on how to use it. If your baby is on an IV, it's normal for them not to have a bowel movement every day; up to 3 days without a stool is okay. For us, regular bowel movements occurred every other day, and if not, the massage helped. We also gave dill water for prevention—not the medicinal kind, but brewed in small sachets, about 1 teaspoon before feeding. It worked well for us, along with the same amount of water as the formula.

Nika Yes. I do massages. I often give massages, and we frequently lie on our stomachs. Sometimes we have a bowel movement every day or every other day.
