sry was about to reply yesday but couldnt sit longer....
1. if the nipple shield is wat workng with arjun,,well, you have to continue with that...your baby is 3montths,,still 3months to go for bf,,at the least...
if you have engorgemnts or feeling of fullness in your breast,,, or so, you can try feeding him before the engorgemnts happen,,which will help him drink from breast in much more comfortable manner and it will allow him to get good hindmilk as well...
if he jerks before passng gas and does it while feeding,,thn you can give him a good tummy time before feeds,,and see if helps him not only to take good feeds(as gas is out) but will also drink well.
2. offer ducolax,,since child needs the medication,,nothgn much can be done,,we jst have to wait for him to outgrow this problem...some babies are very much prone to gas,,nothing wrong,,he is just 3months,,i am just waiting for him to start solids.
3. lifestyle is moderate,,since you have help,,so not a worry,,so i dont think that could have caused ne anxty situations around your child,,which are sometimes the reasons for baby to affct mentally...yeah, its surprisng, but temper of home environment, mothers tension in muscles al affects baby health !!!
4. milk supply tablets are doing good to you,,but you are takng shatavari tablets more thn recmnded..6 is big number,,reduce the dosage to total 3 in a day, after meals.
5. add in kesar to your badam pwder, and cardamom to your pwder..
6. avoid potato and brinjal in your diet as much as you can. reduce or limit toor and channa dal.
in evenings, take oatmeal instead of biscuit or tea..drink lots of fluids,,include spinach in your every meal,,just throw in some leaves in all curries, or make a salad of baby spinach and onions,,,,
about tsh profile,allow your dr to perform that test,,he just wants to make sure whther or not this irregularity in bowels or constipation is related proper functioning of thyroid gland ...
one of the sign that your child has shown is constipation occurs when the tyroid gland in underactive,,however, that cant be ruled out only because your child has constipation,,because mostly many babiees at this age, often suffer from constipatn for upto 5-6days,and some even pass that,,once on solids, they oftn come back to track.....
But,,dpending on other family history or the symptoms that your child might have shown to your dr in his reports until now,,he might have suspected that,,,so allow him to do the test,,nothing wrng if that solves the purpose and real culprit is caught !
so thats all is upto my reach..will be glad to hear the updates...
take care.
