Hey mommas! My son is 4 months old. He hasn't pooped since Friday! We think it might be from the rice cereal we give him at night. I'm calling the doctor here in the next half hour once they open. Do you think it's constipation?? If so any ideas that I can bring up with his doctor?

My baby has constipation issues. When she gets constipated her doctor always tells us to give her 2 oz of baby apple juice. It works great! Also if you put Vaseline on the end of a q tip and put just the tip of it in his bottom like your taking his temp it stimulates it and causes them to push. Both have worked very well for us.

The baby juice won't hurt him since he is only 4 months? @cheylee

@taybugg40, no that's when I had to start giving it to my baby. The Gerber baby juice is 100% juice and you don't have to water it down. They make it already watered down.

@taybugg40, and sometimes that wouldn't work for my daughter and we had to put a teaspoon of benifiber in her juice once a day. And if that didn't work you can buy suppositorys but I hate giving them to her. And we got miralax presribed to us but only because she went two weeks without pooping once. But the apple juice works wonders! I still give Emma two ounces in the morning!:)

You can also lay him on his back and stretch his legs. Sometimes would help my little guy to poop. Or massage his tummy and/or give him a warm bath.
