Baby Laxative
Baby Laxitive
Have you ever wondered if your baby is being regular enough? Here is some insightful information:
"Is my breastfed baby constipated? Does he need a laxative? He is three months old and has bowel movements only every three days. While the amount and frequency of a breastfed baby's wet diapers and bowel movements can be a valuable indicator of his well-being, there is a wide range of normal in infant stooling patterns."

Laxative Baby
Here are some great ideas I got from a website my wife and I have frequented since our first child.
| QUOTE |
| Massage your baby's tummy Only continue if your baby enjoys the massage and is comfortable and relaxed. Move your baby's legs in a cycling motion This will make the stomach muscles move and, in turn, put gentle pressure on the intestines to make them move. Give your baby a bath A warm bath can make your baby relax so the stools are passed more easily. Once your baby has relaxed in the bath, you can also massage their stomach (see above). When you wash your baby's bottom, apply some cream or petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around the outside of the anus. Don't use a thermometer to stimulate movement Don't put a thermometer or anything else inside your baby's anus to stimulate bowel movement, because this may cause damage. Check you are making formula correctly If your baby is on formula milk, you should follow the instructions on the package carefully. Making the mixture too thick by putting in more than the recommended amount of powder can lead to constipation and other medical problems. There are different brands of formula milk on the market, and they are basically of equal quality. It's best to stick to the same brand, because different formulas may require different dilutions. Give cooled, boiled water You can give your baby extra fluids with bottles of cooled, boiled water. |
The formula was the key for our first child. But with our second baby, he had a case that just couldn't be fixed and he was so miserable. We bought Colace suppositories and that loosened him up quick.

Baby Laxative Reviews Consumer & Travel Family Culture
Name: Sophie
Comments: please DO NOT use a thermometer or anything in the babies anus it can case fissures or even ruptures and can actually case the baby to be more afraid of going, so they will be more constipated.
Pediatrician suggested 1 oz orange juice to 4 oz cool boiled water for my baby.
