4 months with formed stool???

sept14sept14 member
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

We had to start formula a month ago, so DS gets formula throughout the day and breastmilk at bedtime.

The consistency had changed to be a little thicker and he seems to grunt more when he's pooping now.  He has gone a couple days without pooping and has been fussy for me.  Today he had a small formed stool.  

Pediatrician is closed.  Should I ask for a call from the on-call doc?  Or, just wait until Monday?

TIA

    sound like he is constipated. call and see what they want you to do. sometimes they just get constipated and it will go away, but you want to be sure pedi knows what's gong on.

    Id definitly call your Dr. 

    I'm going through the same thing right now with my DD.  She's been constipated for a couple weeks only going every other day to every couple days, and she did it was like play-doh, she was straining really bad and in pain.

    It's constipation. DS has been like this since he was 2 weeks old. We give him about an ounce of juice every day or two and it helps some. I would definitely call the doctor before giving juice, but that's probably what they'll suggest.?

    Got the call back...

    warm water, half strength apple juice, bicycle his legs, suppository if not better

    So, I just gave him the apple juice with warm water and we are bicycling now.

    Wish us luck.
