When constipated, it helps to cut out certain foods that cause constipation. These foods are known asre known as BRAT . Bananas, Rice, Apple Sauce and Toast. If you are feeding rice cereal, stop giving rice cereal. Make sure he is getting enough fluids and then try the prunes and pears. Oatmeal is usually a better alternative if you want to give cereal and avoid the constipation. You might want to wait a couple weeks before you give him any type of cereal though.
Try infant massage, YouTube a video for constipation infant massage. My LO has had constipation problems. I tried the massage tonight and right after I put him down for tummy time and he pooped!!!!! I was amazed
Ask you pedi if he's old enough for pureed prunes. My DS had to start on that at exactly 5 months for that reason. That was what the dr rec'd & it worked great. Nothing else had worked.
