Massage the belly counter clockwise and exercise the legs (bicycle kicks)

Answer

I used to have to get suppositories and cut them into tiny pieces. It worked like a charm

Answer

I recommend calling your pediatrician & setting up an appointment or calling the nurses Line & asking them. They will be able to tell you what is best.

Answer

I bought the Windi Fridas and they seem to help. How old is the baby? Mine lo is 6.5wks I added about 0.5ml of light Karo syrup to 2 bottles and he finally went yesterday, 3 days early he had gone like 8 inches of hard poop that I basically had to coax out like he was giving birth. Today he went normally. I hate seeing my baby in pain.
