Constipated baby

Let me just say that it was only 4 days & I know it's totally normal, especially for breastfed babies. But he's been super fussy & I feel badly for him. We're all miserable here.

I tried many things like warm bath, massaging his belly, and even took his temp rectally. His pediatrician said we could give him a little bit of apple juice mixed with water. I remember doing the same with DD when she was an infant. So I mixed 1 oz of juice with 1 oz of water. He drank it & 6 hrs later, he had a HUGE poop. It ALL came out! I also remember giving DD baby biogaia probiotic drops. It's awesome & works great, just a little expensive. I might give DS this to help him be more regular.

Anyone else dealing with constipation?

    We are currently going on day 6... Before that he was a 2x a day boy. Im hoping poopagedon comes today. I have tried just about everything same as you. Haven't done the apple juice though. Maybe i will try that today.

    We had a few days with no poops too. We did a dropper full of pear juice -- our pedi said we could either mix it with water/milk in a bottle, or just do a little bit in a dropper. It definitely worked! Poopageddon indeed!

    We do a glycerin suppository (on pedi's advice) if it has been longer than 5 days.  With DS2, the rule was longer than 7 days, but DS2 was gaining like a horse, and DS3 is a little squirt who needs all the help his little system can get :)

    Isn't it amazing how suddenly someone else's poop is so interesting and such an important part of your day? LO had 4 poopy diapers yesterday, so the opposite problem, but I'm taking note of all of your tips for future reference.

    LO is constipated from her formula but pedi said she's too young for probiotics. she gets 1 tablespoon of prune juice in her bottle 4 times a day. it doesn't make her have to go but it makes it much easier for her to go and she seems much happier. I've also heard that pear juice works even better than prune juice.
