Mommas, my baby is having trouble pooping. I think it's the new formula I have. Is there anything that I can do to give her some relief?

I give my babies Gerber pear or apple juice deluded with water.

Is that safe, she is only a month old? @6thahardway

Definitely not a good idea at a month old.

that's just something Ive always used with all my babies to help move the bowels. even at that age. I have a friend who's dr told her to use prune juice which I think is way too harsh.

@katarama, I breastfeed and formula feed for supplementation due to the fact that I don't produce much breast milk, she was on similac but I recently got WIC and they give enfamil. I think it's too heavy for her tummy and it makes her constipated

How often do you pump/breastfeed? The more you at least try, the more milk you will supply. Doing skin to skin can also help!! Honestly I'm not a doctor so I can't give you a definite answer, but it could definitely be the formula stopping her up. 😕😕

I breastfeed every 2-3 hours and I try to pump after. They say that helps with production too. But sometimes my nipples are just to sore so I hold off on it until the next 3 hours when I feed her again.

its probably the kind of enfamil he's drinking that happened to my son and we switched to soy

@mazeyy09, my breast milk is helping her digest I just don't make enough or else I would solely just feed her that
