6 week old wih bowel problems?
ok i have a 6 week old, i live in iquitos peru and i have taken her to the doctor… she has had problems pooping since she was 2 weeks old and it is getting worse, she strains so hard constantally and cries because of it all the time. when it comes out though it is soft and normal. the doctor said she had lazy intestines the first time, i took her back yesterday and she was so swollen he was really worried, so he tried to get her to poop using a thermometer and she wouldnt so he ended up giving her an enema… he said she had something wrong with her intestines and then sent her home with gas medicine .
it helps with gas but this morning she is straining just as hard and is swollen up again. i have given her glycerin suppositorys i have given her pedialyte, i walk with her all the time, i rub her tummy with oil, i move her legs i have tried a q-tip , the pharmacy gave me medicine to help her go and it didnt work..i dont know what to do.i am thinking about taking her to the states

Really all depends. IF you breast feed she may not be taking the milk.
IF she is formula fed. She might not be able to have the hard stuff…Both of my children had to be on soy same problem.
