    OP,
    do what the doc suggested for now. going forward,you can try home remedies to prevent/avoid this situaiton. IMO,12 days is too long.

    Dear,

    Good to know the problem is solved.

    Soak 1 or 2 dry grapes in i spoon of hot water. mash and filter it. Try to give the filtered dry grape juice to the baby in the night. The next day baby will poo with ease.

    When ever my baby is suffering from constipation, this is what we do. My grandma suggested this.

    Hi OP

    Since your baby is v small, I would recommend talk to doc before giving anything outside to him. What I knew, Bfed babies go more often than formula babies and formula does cost constipation in many babies. In my lo's case, she was pooping more often when on b. milk.

    Consider these things at home
    • Gripe water ( does not need docs advice) , home made gripe water drops
    • message around navel, heeng rubs etc
    • Your diet (since u feed her)
    Check with your doctor
    • What formula you give, consider changing formula brand. Similac is known is give less constipation than Enfamil but I have friends who use Enfamil only.
    • if diluted with water will help
    • Prune juice

    Hi Sanju n all,
    Thank you. Constipation problem started when I tried formula milk first time since his birth. That is Similac stage 1. First 30 days I feed him exclusively breast milk But then my milk was not sufficient I started Similac and had issues still now. So i stopped formula milk and giving only b.milk.
    Doctors suggested frequent feeding. I'm feeding him every 2 hours. After every feed he pass urine atleast 3 times. Dr told to give formula milk as well. I already tried similar and nan pro. Please suggest to give enfamil or continue giving b.milk.
    Also please suggest me the diet for b.milk. I'm having greens in my diet.
    I'm trying dry grapes water but no use.
