Anyone have any suggestions what i can do to unconstipate my 5 week old? The past few weeks hes had clay like clump stool now the past few days he hasnt done anything. Yesterday i tried a thermometer and Vaseline like his dr suggested and it worked a little but still clay like clump. He hasnt had a BM again today tried thermometer and Vaseline again today and nothing. He cries out like hes in pain. Ive also tried putting a little bit of karo syrup in his formula like my mother in law suggested but nothing has worked.
Ill call his dr again. I took him a week ago and they said it was normal but it doesnt seem normal to me especially since hes obviously in pain
@cooperd0122, try hair a suppository. Karo didn’t really help lane either so his dr prescribed him so lactose medicine that did! So I would call your dr. I know Walmart has some stuff for baby constipation too but I never tried it
@taymw11 ive been putting light karo in his bottles but it doesnt seem to help.
I had to add 1 oz of pear juice or prune juice to one bottle a day, that helped
