Hi Erin , I am Azzi mum to 5 and also a newbie on this site

I would try some infacol or gripe water athough i have never had any luck with gripe water myself , i wouldn't give any more orange. it can be normal for bottle fed babys to go a day or more without a bowel movement , less likely with breast fed babys I would give him a few more hours and if he still seems unwell call a doctor or health vistor and see what they suggest

:Hello2: Erin and welcome.

I'm a sahm - ds is 6 and dd will be 4 soon. We live in West Yorkshire.

Think I agree with Azzi, check at the baby clinic or with your HV. Hope he feels better today, anyway.

My ds suffered with colic and I still remember what it was like .... Infacol helped though.

:Hello2: Erin

I'm Kate, 32, married to Chris and we have 3 lads.

I used infacol with all my three. Harry used to like to be placed over my lap on his front with me massaging his lower back. HTH

Looking forward to chatting to you

Hi Erin,
Hope your LO is feeling much better today, it's heartbreaking to see them unwell and not know what to do. I used infacol with my dd and it helped her a lot.
My dd is now 2 and I'm expecting no. 2 in the new year, we live in Northern Ireland with my dh. Hope to see you on soon.

How's the baby doing any better? If it is colic I agree infacol is great.
