what can I give my son to help him poop?? he's so constipated he'll push and push he'll turn red and it sounds like he's…

You should not give your baby any juice until she or he is six months or older. Until then, they will receive all the necessary nutrients from their formula or breast milk. If your baby is younger than six months, his or her stomach isn’t ready to digest a substance like a prune juice

prune juice is perfectly ok tp give to your lil one. Liam is 2 months old and has the same issue and my pediatrician told me to give him the prune juice

she said 1 oz mixed in with his bottle. I do 1 oz prune juice w 3 oz water and 2 scoops of formula powder every other day. it works wonders for his lil tummy

@jonesnichole25, I won't ..

please no prune sauce and water again. very dangerous.

it was one oz of water it a little bit of prune sauce. and I didn't even let him eat the whole oz

my mom bout him baby prune sauce mix some with water and told me to give it to him

qtip with vasiline. if you see it is really hard like a blockage you may have to hold his butt cheeks open to help him poop. my son suffers with constipation and this is what i had to do a couple of times until his doctor prescribed him stool softner at 6 month

i wouldn't give such a young baby juice. ask your doctor first. its also possible his holding it because it hurts so bad. my son does hold it & his gi has conformed that pooping for him is a painful event so he tries to stop it.

@_akgirl, @queendavis thank you ladies for the advice! (:

A teeny tiny bit of prune juice would help. Just like a teaspoon. Or like @_akgirl said do the thermometer tip in his behind. Warm bath. Bicycle legs. I don't suggest giving him water! But the prune juice or even apple juice should help. Just a teeny tiny bit. I use the Tylenol syringes to give it to my kids when they're constipated.

you could try a thermometer or qtip with a little Vaseline on the tip and stick it in his bottom and gently wiggle it. warm bath. baby massage to help it move down.

he is sometimes he'll fuss because he can't poop and he's formula feed @_akgirl

really*

is he ran out constipated? sometimes they just absorb so much nutrients that they just don't have anything to poop.

I'm scared to give him water at this age water intoxication scares me @greenleigheli191

a ounce of water! my mom told me she used to do it with us and that I should try. it worked wonders!
