Okay mommies I am in need of help/advice: my little girl is 14 weeks and per the drs she needs to be on this iron supplement (takes 1 once day). when she poops it's always hard and she just screams. when I asked the doc about it he said to dilute her formula a little for a couple of weeks. we are just making it through week 1 and I feel so bad that she has to go through this pain. last night she actually woke up screaming at 330 because she was pooping. (normally she can sleep for 7-8 hrs). should I wait it out or should I call the dr again?
thanks mommies
diluting formula isn't supposed to be recommended.... that doctor clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. maybe he should lower the dosage of iron she takes a day. but you could always try prun juice.
We used dark kyro syrup one tablespoon for every 4 oz of formula we did this twice a day and he finally went he felt so much better! Granted this was awhile ago but I hope she feels better
