help for constipation

i think my dd is constipated.  she is on day 4 of no pooping and is a little extra fussy with crazy stinky farts.  my mom suggested a suppository, but i wanted some other opinions first.

Re: help for constipation

  • I heard taking his rectal temperature works. Ive never been brave enough to try it.

  • Watered down pear juice - check with your pedi if you are unsure.
  • Have you called your pediatrician? I have always heard that you should call if it has been over 3 days. Good Luck!

  • Is her stomach really hard when she is calm or resting? Babies can go several days with no poop and be fine. If she is constipated, I'd call your pedi. I know we've used a baby thermometer with vaseline before to help move things along.

    This 1oz prune juice to 1oz water, once a day.

     For minor constipation, you can add 1teaspoon of sugar once a day...but this never worked for Cat and seemed...wierd.  It was a fill in doctor that told me that.
