My baby boy was born 6 weeks early at 34 weeks due to underlying issues with myself as I was hospitalised at just over 30 weeks. He is now 22 weeks. From him coming home after spending time in hospital he always had bother with bowels movements, maybe not going for 8 days then a small bowel movement. This was an ongoing issue even with having medicine twice daily for his bowels. This was also with a milk intolerance, he would scream in pain, it was heartbreaking.
We received 5 weeks infant massage at home. At first my baby boy didn't like it but after another attempt he was fit to lay and have a full session done. He had a bowel movement after each visit, which was great. I had a lot of help throughout and guidance that would help his movements from Karen. And we now add into daily as part of his routine. He is such a happy baby now and it's so lovely to see his funny charming personality come through. It was a massive help for us as a family as it caused him so much stress. I have to thank Karen so much for all the support she give us throughout.
