Constipation -- Babies
Are there any safe ways to help remedy my baby's constipation?
The book "What to Expect; The First Year" suggests some simple remedies to constipation. First, try helping your baby push out what might be stuck with a simple exercise -- move their legs in a bicycle like fashion to stimulate the body. For babies that have already been introduced to solid foods, you can try a water/prune juice mixture or add some bran to their cereal. Also try increasing their fruit intake with anything other than banana. If you notice blood in the stool or their stomach seems bloated, call the doctor.
How do I even know if my baby is constipated? How long is too long between pooping?
