soy and constipation

#1_BadgeBunny

do you think the soy in the formula can be the culprit or the iron in the formula? the M&Ms have been constipated since we switched them onto soy.

also pedi said to put 1 tbsp of karo syrup in thier formula 2x a day... any thoughts on this?  scares me to add something to thier systems?  Ive thought about giving them 1-2 oz of water a day as well.. anybody else try this? we use tap water to make formula can i just use warm tap water to do this?

Soy was TERRIBLE for my boy. Such bad constipation. It is the soy - not the iron. I switched him to Nutramigen. Why did you switch to soy?

The extra water did not work. Cammamile tea did though. Best of luck. I will never try soy again. I won't do the karo syrup.
