For preemie moms! Constipation :(

Our little guy came almost three months early so is only the size of a newborn now. He seems to be constipated and I'm not sure how to help him. Any advice you could give would be so helpful!

    Ask your pediatrician. We had severe constipation for 2 months. We gave him prune juice from about 4 weeks old - 1 oz. He usually pooped a few hours after. But what really helped is the change of formula. Try Gerber Gebtle premixed in 3 oz glass bottles. It solved the problem for us.

    Are you nursing at all? That does affect dirty diapers I would suggest asking your pediatrician to be sure
