Baby constipation?

jsusann

Griffin is constipated. I've used mylicon for the gassy gas and tried working his legs and the thermometer in the butt thing...nothing helps that much. Any good ideas?

one ounce of pear or apple or prune juice. ?Warm bath with water up over tummy, massage tummy. ?Glycerin suppositories, just inserted until you cannot see it. ?These are all suggestions given by our pedi and have worked. ?Good luck

My sis used a suppository on her baby and within 10 minutes got a great fart and "movement".  Watch out - they can work quickly sometimes.

warm water bath tends to help. Is he pooping hard pellets or not at all? If not at all, I would try the glycerins, but it they are hard, some extra fluids might help (extra breastmilk or formula, or with pedi approval some pear juice)
