We've just started Ollie on the Rhuger drops (he is two weeks old) and since we started on Tuesday, he has not passed a bowel motion. Prior to this he was passing several a day.
I really believe the Rhuger was helping with Ollie's wind, but today he has become totally distressed and is not feeding and seems to have tummy pain. Is it at all possible that the Rhuger could be contributing to him not doing a poo? It seems unlikely given it is supposed to help with digestion, but at the same time it's the only new thing that's been introduced. Stressed!!! |

Ive never used it but.....firstly take a deep breath  Dont stress!!! It will go through to Oliver hun.
I would stop using it for a while and see if that helps, you will soon know if its that causing his pain. Have you tried placing a warm hot water bottle or wheatsack on his tummy and pumping his legs, or placing him on his tummy on the heat? I swear by heat for wind pain! I suffer from it badly and its like magic! ------------- |

We tried it with Emmett and he ended up getting a nappy rash from very acidic bowel movements - no constipation though.
I stopped because I couldnt decide what was worse, the wind or the nappy rash. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep, I had a similar problem with my wee boy, though he was older than Ollie.
