What To Give Baby For Constipation

by Anonymous

What can I give my 2 week old baby for constipation?


Baby Help Line Response:

Dear parent,

It would be easier to give good advice with some more information...

Is your baby breastfed or bottle-fed? How long has it been since she past stools? How do you know that she is constipated? If the poop that does come out is soft, she may not be constipated, but rather have normal newborn problems with passing stools.

That said, being only two weeks old, she "should" pass stools several times per day, especially if she is breastfed. At around 2 months, most babies start pooping less often, maybe once a day.

Since your baby is so young, and especially if it has been a few days since she pooped, I'd advice you to contact her doctor to make sure she is healthy.

And if you want to, please provide some more information, by using the Comment form below, and I'll try to help you some more.
