my poor baby is still having a difficult time pooping..I've tried prune juice, karo syrup, etc...I will be calling the dr monday..
I find prune juice just creates more gas and uncomfortableness then it does good. my son suffered from this badly as well. I would try maybe apple juice and some very warm water . also thermometer with Vaseline and pushing legs towards belly and stretch them back out seemed to help him. also if formula feeding you may want to look into a different formula my son went through all of them and finally came to the conclusion the diary and soy and lactose was making him constipated we settled on nutramigen
I took a thermometer and put some lube on it and just stuck the tip in and did a circular motion for about 30 seconds to a minute. Helps to relax the muscles to help them go. Old moms trick my mom showed me
