@Abiolar, She will be fine. Gripe water helps alot. I do not know the content of the herbs you want to give her. I advise you let her me. If it is blood stained, then it is a red flag. Also watch your diet as it affects your baby as well.

Noo, she pooing BT she push b4 the stool coming out

Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

I don't know if it would work for you. However before any advice, babies sometimes don't poo everything. In a week, they can poo only thrice. If your baby is passing gas, there is no need to worry. So be careful what you do. To calm yourself do, sometimes gripe water helps but in Nigerian hospitals, the doctors will yell at you for using it. Clockwise gentle massage of a baby's abdomen but I won't advise you do that as some mothers will go to the extreme. So you can keep feeding, give gripe water or a little orange juice or let her be.
