Constipation

Aww, constipation sa both of you is really tough, mama! For your 5-month-old on formula, try increasing water intake slightly (kahit small sips between feeds) at make sure the formula mixing is correct, sometimes too much powder causes constipation. A few of us also swear by tummy massage sa baby (gentle circular motions clockwise) and making sure siya active enough throughout the day. For you mismo, drink lots of water, eat fiber-rich foods, at move around kahit kaunti lang, constipation after birth is so common pero it gets better. If it doesn't improve in a few days or baby seems uncomfortable or bloated, best to check with your pedia kasi sometimes formula adjustment is needed, at for you din with your OB or doctor, okay?
