Help! So my son doesn't poop as often as he should, sometimes he'll go 3 or 4 days without, but when…

how old is he? My doctor recommended an oz of Apple juice and 2 oz of water when my daughter was 3 months. He said if she goes a week without pooping to buy baby suppositories

if he can eat baby food, try lots of bananas!

Formula fed? Or breastfed?

@diller464, he is 4 months, going to be 5 on the 12th @mamesey he is formula fed

It may be the type of formula. There's certain ones made for sensitive tummies. Maybe check those out?

@mamesey, he used to be on sensitive and he always threw it up, he's on advanced now and he's done a hell of a lot better than he did on sensitive

@diller464, when would you start giving the apple juice & water? At how many months?

Hmmm. Talk to your doctor about this then. They would have the best recommendation. And I just looked at your baby's age. Too young for juice.

You can use a rectal thermometer so stimulate him to go poop. Goodluck !

It helped my daughter a lot. She wouldnt poop for almost a whole week. I'd give it to her once a day. 1oz of juice with 2oz of water. Every baby is different though. She started having regular movements after a couple days.

I started her at 3 months just for the constipation. I wouldnt start your baby on it as an everyday thing though
