Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Constipated?

My LO is only having one to two bowel movements per day and these are "blow outs" when she does.  This is now the third day.  I BF only and she is on Zantac.  Anyone else have anything like this?

Re: Constipated?

  • Constipation is not based on frequency of BM but on the hardness of it.  1-2 BMs a day is completely normal and if it is a blow out it probably isn't hard.

    Have you changed to the next size of diapers yet?  Usually when my kids start having somewhat consistent blowouts is when I change to the next size up in diapers.  Hope that helps!

    Her belly gets hard and she grunts before the blowouts and then feels tons better.  Guess thats "normal"?
