My baby has been constipated pretty much his entire life. he is a month old and has been on Carnation good start, and then by dr advice, we switched to soy, since he was so constipated. (hard dry stools every few days with lots of crying and straining with the poop) He was on the soy for a little over a week, and if anything the symptoms got worse. He was very very constipated and was beginning to have troubles breathing, wheezing and coughing after feeding. The doctor told me to use half a child's glycerin suppository on him and get a can of nutrimagen formula to see if it helps.
With the suppository, he ended up pooping all night last night and this morning, all hard poops, and then this afternoon, it became more soft, but still pretty dry, and almost powdery looking. Is this normal for the hypoallergenic formula? He is not constipated anymore and seems to be doing better, but Im concerned that it is not wetter. He is wetting PLENTY of diapers a day though.
Hypoallergenic formula, constipation....?
try Similac Alimentum it will cure all of those problems :)
Reply:my four month old son has been on nutrimagen since he was a month old and since he started it he had a hard time pooping now he goes once a day and if he doesnt i will give him 2-3 oz of water and he goes his poop is always pasty though so im not sure good luck though
Reply:im sorry you could not have breastfed. have you tried something that does not have added iron as iron is very constipating? i would ask the ped about teh stool but i think they should be "wetter" than that it doesnt sound normal
