Baby Constipation?

Question

Ever since my little one was 1 month old I’ve seriously struggled with her pooping. I’ve tried probably 4 different formulas (including lactose free ones), a laxative that the doctor gave me and nothing fixes it. If I do not give my daughter literally 10 ml of Prune juice 2 times a days she gets VERY constipated to the point where she cries really hard and I almost need to dig it out for her 😭. I’ve seen 3 different doctors and they tell me to change her formula or give her natural juices and I’m just getting fed up. She will be 6 months old on the 11th and I haven’t even started her on ANY human food because I’m afraid of her constipation getting even worse. Anyone else dealing with something like this?

Answer

May need yo see a gi. Could be something structural affecting it. My nephew had something like this as a baby.

Answer

You could try a chiropractor. Sometimes a misalignment can cause constipation. If you’re worried about taking a baby to chiro, look up videos of what they do for babies, it’s just a little touch, it’s not rough or hard pressure like with adults.

Answer

My first has had constipation ever since she was three months old. The only way we could get her to go we're suppositories. We we're prescribed a small dose of miralax and as long as she got it once a day she was good. We started that at 4 months and continued on until about 2. At that point I began giving her fiber gummies daily and its still working. If we miss the gummies though she has a very hard time. It's the worst seeing them in that pain and you can't do anything.
