Moms to lo's with reflux...what formula is your LO on?

Ds is on similac for spit up but has been constipated. I'm thinking this isn't going to work and we need to try something else.

    I'm sorry I should have posted that! He's 10 weeks. I'm a ftm but is that too young for water or juice? We need to do something to help him.

    I have no advice on the type of formula, but what else have you tried for the constipation?  Rub his belly, bicycle his legs, and warm bath.

    I'm going to call again tomorrow. He wasn't much help. Only said to use the thermometer trick. But we did and he went then and there but still hasn't since.

    We've rubbed his belly, fine bicycle legs and tried giving him a mixture (1/2 and 1/2) of the similac for spit up and the sensitive to see if it would help. And nothing. My mom keeps insisting on me giving him karo syrup and water.

    How long has it been since he's gone?  I would wait until you talk to your pedi more thoroughly before doing Karo.

    I wouldn't give anything until you talk to your pedi.

    Is he uncomfortable or it's just been a while since he's pooped? Some babies can go a week between poops.

    We give DS a warm bath and a belly massage to help with constipation.

    He pooped last Friday on his own last. He is def uncomfortable and when we did do the thermometer trick (on Thursday) it was clay-like and he cried while pushing it out after the thermometer started it. I feel so bad for my poor baby :(

    Jack has reflux bad, and we have him on Enfamil Premium Infant. His pedi recommended some rice cereal or oatmeal because of his weight and height, but DH and I aren't ready for that. Does it seem to bother him? We used Enfamil AR, and it definitely helped him keep his food down.

    As for the constipation, we use Karo only if it's bad, which it rarely is. Otherwise, taking his temp or bicycling his legs works.
