2 month old, constipation?

dont give her suppositories, give her a couple ounces of juice a day. my baby had horrible constipation when she was on gentlease, so i switched her to enfamil premium lipil and started giving her 2 oz of prune juice in the morning and 2 oz in the night. the next day she pooped out everything no prob and has been regular ever since i have done this. im going to get thumbs down for this, mostly from the BF moms who are on their high horse anyways, but i promise a little juice will not hurt your baby and it will keep her regular. baby prune, pear and whit grape juice are all great for constipation. try it.

My 2 month old takes Similac Sensitive and does well with it except for constipation. She will go 3-4 days between bowel movement. By day 3 she is in obvious pain and when she finally does go it's a lot of very very hard stool followed by more mushy poo. We've had to use suppositories to...

You could try Prune baby pure, pear or prune juice diluted in water. My son was the same with similac sentive except him going every 3-4 days was normal, there was no hard stools. I switched to similac advance and he now goes 3-4 times a day!!! What a difference.

Maybe his not getting enough fluids ? I wouldn't use suppositories because it can cause your baby's intestine to slack ( which means they won't work as well/fast to let the poo out) They will get use to the suppositories and will expect having it to let it out...

im going thru the same silmilar situation with my son elias he was very much constipated actually he is only 12 days old he kinda still is but it's normal for this to happen to babies so early on. i've asked the advice of my sister on what to give him and since my sister has 4 kids she explained to me prune juice is the best!! i use only 1 oz of prune juice and the other oz water so together 2 ozs.

Definitely give her prune or pear juice (pear tastes nicer) - this may remedy the problem all by itself.

But suppositories are actually the least "addictive" of all remedies because they're not strong stimulant-irritants and they don't affect the whole intestine. So if you have to use suppositories to ensure she's doing a smelly every day, so be it.

Our doctor says Karo syrup (dark), a teaspoon in each bottle of milk until there is a BM. If that doesn't work PRUNE JUICE!. One ounce of prune juice to 4 ounces of water, then let her drink as much as she can. My son had the exact problem. The Karo didn't work on him and our Pediatrician recommended the prune juice because it is all natural. Pear juice is supposed to work too but he hates it so...Hopes this helps!

Goats milk (with added vitamin supplements) can be an alternative. Its made differently and can be easier to digest for baby. It is lacking in some vitamins and such, so like I said you need to be thorough and research it, but I have heard many women successfully switching from formula to goats milk to help their babies digestive system. I'm using for my son after he turns one instead of cows milk, in addition to breastfeeding.

Formula does not cause constipation, and if the poo is mushy the baby isn't constipated. If a baby is constipated all the poo is hard when it comes out. I had the same with my son (went 3 days between bowel movements) and this is what dr told me.
