If my baby's constipated ... What should I do? He's just under 2 months old

Here are a few things that you can try 1 oz of prune juice and 1 oz of water or move the baby legs like they are riding a bike usually when I do that my daughter poops like 20 mins later

I wouldn't give baby any juice or water because of the age. Try the exercises definitely though.

Also, if you're breastfeeding it May not be constipation.

@junesmommy15, actually that's exactly what my sons doctor suggested for him when he was 2 months only it was an oz of pear and a oz of water. but make sure its the Gerber juice.

I also rubbed his belly like in a downward motion

Definitely the bicycle exercise or put Vaseline on the tip of a thermometer and put the tip of it in his butt and wiggle a tiny bit. Dont go in too far but it should loosen things up. And I agree juice is not the best idea for a baby. Their stomachs are brand new and have only had milk (or formula) and can't handle things like sugar or all of the things in water. It can cause problems in the future.

@tibi2696 Ok. You know every doctor is different though. Most of the time they tell you not to. A month is kinda young. Some doctors do give the ok though. My baby is 4 months now and I still never gave him juices or even water.

I know, I was just saying what my doctor said @junesmommy15

@tibi2696 Yeah I understood.

There's gas drops or gripe water you can get. Gas drops work best for my daughters gas and constipation but I've heard gripe water works too

@reaganmommy2015, @junesmommy15 ya I'll deff try pumping the legs I already do that an it helps calm him down an yes I am breast feeding

Thank everyone I'll try these things out @tibi2696 @shortizzie @bria.k

@junesmommy15, my daughter is almost 6 weeks old and my doctor suggested the prune juice and water. As long as you don't just give them water it's ok. And this is my third kid

@reaganmommy2015 Ok cool. All doctors are different. Mine said no and I don't.
