my baby iz 2 weeks old now.when my baby was born she cries extremely to empty her bowels n to urinate..she will become violet by crying for almost 20 min then she urinates or poops..we have chosen a bad hospital bcuz they never cared for our baby.they always said give some water water water...anyways thats the past story.she passed her first meconium stool after 8 hrs.and she latched for bm only after 4 days untill 4 days we gave only water they ..in hosp they didinot allow us to give any formula.
thinking abt those four days iz hell for me...cud u plzz guess why she cried like that?..but frm the 5th day she was normal . Hetal replied. Hi, sry for delay in reply...

at first, your baby passed her first meconium stools after 8hours for the reason that she wasnt latched just within a couple hours..which should have happen ! now that has happnd and over,,past is past,,,but waiting upto 4 days is not a better idea for a newborn...the earlier newborn gets feeds of bm or formula, the better he is able to adopt to surrrounding environment and also drinking bm and formula in first days, helps them to regulate thr bowels or pass and clear off meconium stools, and let me say that makes thr digestive system to proper work along with thr breathng skills and sucking skills..

until now baby ws gettng all nutrnts from your body,,now he has to digest them,,a work thts not only new but the environment is also new...which explains why he is having disturbed bowels, with shrill cry...
other i see,i am surprised by the hospital norms,,you can complain to health department because 4 days is a very long time for newborn to be without milk or formula or stay on water !
rather its nt recmnded for an infant almost upto 3months to have water ! bm or formula has just the right amt of water they need...
other thing is your baby was not gvn feeds every 2-3 hours which is very much required by newborn,,resultng in disturbances in his digestive system.,,and there is possibility that your baby body endedup having gas problem because of empty stomach. what happens when you badly need food and you dont get food !,,you will get gas, and after that you eat, you will not be able to eat well,,,further causing stress during bowels the next day,,,a human body in some functions behave the same way irrespective of age,,which has happnd to your baby..thats how it has become stressful for your baby to pass bowels and clear his bladder...these all were supposed to start functioning from day 1, instead it was later,,and it has caused quite a disturbance...
please consult a good dr, and if you are in US, give him mylicon,at one feed and see his reaction,,if he is fine,,you may want to continue, once or twice a day,,OR offer gripe water...
my personal advice, is ask your dr about it, before giving ne of these aids, because the cause of the problem or disturbances in your case is cmpltly different and so your dr might want to give a diff alternative instead of gripe water or mylicon..and yes, change the hospital if you can..
if you are bf, eat light diet and try to eat mini meals, with lots of freshly cooked vegies,,,and it will somewhat help your baby to recover better.
chew the roastd pwder of ajma,dill seeds,jeera,sugar,salt...roast them all,add in pwderd sugar chunks(the sugar that comes in blocks/chunks,,that pure sugar not the one we use in cooking),,and sprinkle some salt...ajma 1:jeera:1.5:dill seeds:1/2,,sugar just enough to gv sweetish tasteand salt just namesake !

chew it after every meals or just before breastfeeding your baby..it will help your baby to get out of this mess to some extent...
if at all she is still crying with bowels and all...this is all i can guess as to what happened in first 5 days,,is only because of delay in offering bm or formula !
but consult a good dr if at all the problem is still going on !
goodluck
