What to do for constipation in newborns? He is on formula mainly
you might need to change his formula. my oldest had an issue with Gerber formula making her poop hard. so we ending up switching her formula. I would call the doctors office and talk to the nurse and see what you can do so you dont have to wait until your appointment.
I gave my son water/juice mix, and he's perfectly fine :) the only problem I ever had was actually when I listened to his pedi & stopped doing juice and started doing Karo syrup. it made him more constipated than he was to start with. @kimberlyyyy @nini2015
He is pooping every day but it is hard as a rock. He is drinking about 3 oz of formula every2 hours. No we see the pediatrician on Friday @kimberlyyyy
Water is bad for newborns- their kidneys have a hard time filtering it out
It's normal for breastfed babies to go 5 days without pooing and a week with formula. Have you talked to your pediatrician about it yet
my mom always had me put a tablespoon of clear karo in the bottle when the baby eats...it will loosen up.it worked every time with my kids....and it won't hurt the baby either.
