Constipated on Soy Formula...poo tmi.

in July 2012 Moms

I have finally found a formula that doesn't result in liquid poo and mass amounts of spit up, and we had to put my 5yo dd on soy when she was a baby.  The downside....the constipation.  My poor baby just strained and screamed when she went and it was hard and marbly, followed by soft.  (sorry if TMI)

We have our check up with the pedi and I may call him, but with my 5yo daughter they had us do, Karo Syrup, then Gerbers pear juice, then finally miralax.  I can't remember if I started the Karo Syrup first or the Pear Juice, and if she was this little.  Anyone in a similar situation I would love to hear what is working for you.

    Oh yeah, we definitely had that going on over here. My pedi recommended 1oz of water daily. I would give her 1tsp of gripe water with the water and it worked pretty well. Most of her poops where on the firmer side, but not like stones.

    Since we began thickening because her spit up really picked up, I have found the rice cereal with pro-biotic and that stuff is heaven sent. I havent seen a mushy poop like this since she was days old.

    You could also look for a probiotic at a whole foods or something. Not sure if you have one of those around you. I tried biogoia(sp?) but I dont think it helped much more than the water and it was expensive, so I went back to the water.

    I just called my pedi, a new one since we moved.  They told me to put a Tablespoon...yes Tablespoon of brown sugar in a bottle once a day.  WTF.  My old pedi told me to put a teaspoon of karo syrup in one bottle a day.  I made her say it 2X and she said tablespoon both times.  I think I am going to have to call again and triple check.  Has anyone ever heard of this?
