constipation

Pretty sure my sweet baby boy is constipated

While I am waiting for my doc to call back, anyone have any tips? We have been doing the bicycle legs but it doesn't seem to be helping. I feel so bad for him, he seems so uncomfortable.

At two weeks, I'm not sure. I've used pear juice on Emmeline, but that was when she was 2 months +. They can't digest the sugars, so their body pushes it through. Is she formala or breast milk? E didn't have regular bowl movement for the first month (breast milk)...her body was still adapting to being outside the womb. I guess I don't have any really good advice; let us know what the doc says.

Aw, poor guy! He's so young, I'd check with your ped before giving him anything food-wise to help. I give Mikayla a tiny splash of prune juice in her bottle almost every day to keep things moving. Keep up the bicycling.. I've heard warm baths can help to relax the muscles. Hope he takes care of business soon!
