Similac Sensitive and Constipation

nezweenezwee
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Has anyone experienced this?

DD was constipated about a month ago and the pedi said to give her prune juice. I gave her 1 ounce two days in a row. The following week she had diarrhea.  Everything was fine for a week, then she got diarrhea again last week. Now this week she is constipated again.

The only thing I can figure it could be is the formula, which we've been using Similac Sensitive. She does get about 2-4 ounces of breast milk a day, could it be something I'm eating causing it?

TIA!!

    We switched to sensitive a little over a week ago because he was constipated. The first day he went immediately and then he went back to his 2/3 day schedule. I was also supplementing with some breast milk, but I wanted to stop just to see if it was me.  He has gone 5 days in a row now, but I don't know if his body is just used to it now or if it was because I stopped the breast milk.

    My LO is somewhat irregular on the sensitive. Today she pooped twice (got our first blowout) but didn't poop yesterday. She's not been constipated on it though I don't BF at all now.

    LO has been on SSensitive since about 2 weeks and is now 3 months.  She has loose poop (almost diahrea) when we use the powdered version about 65% of the time.  When I use the ready to feed or or the concentrated liquid, it looks like normal poop. 

    Since I ran out of the liquid, she has been only on the powder lately. I think maybe I wasn't putting enough powder before (maybe the scoop wasn't full throughout) b/c I have read that if the consistency isn't right it can affect the BM's. The last few times, I put a little bit more powder in and the BM's have been normal. 

     So it could be the consistency.  I guess I will wait and see if I get any more loose ones!

    We do similac and parents choice (= to similac) and she always seemed constipated so I have been doing 1 bottle of water 1-2 oz every night and she is finally getting consistant and hasn't been constipated for a few weeks now.
