    Hello ILs,
    My son is 2 months old. He is suffering with severe constipation. I am giving him karo syrup, dates paste. I am not eating spicy food as well. Nothing is working for him. Please give me some tips to relieve his constipation.

    OP, Ask the doctor asap. The doc shud be able to help. Meanwhile give him 1 spoon of water every once in a while. Once when my baby hadnt pooped for 3 days my mom did it and it helped.Give him hot water which is cooled slightly. Good Luck.

    Dates paste for 2 month old baby? Nothing other than breast milk or formula should be given to such a young baby. Breast milk will take care of iron supply for your baby until,6 months. Formulas are now fortified with iron.

    BTW dates causes constipation.

    Do you mean 2 years? Dates are known to cause constipation, you could try giving water instead.

    Is it 2 months or 2 years. You cannot give dates paste to such a young baby.

    Thank you Ramya, malini, chococolate. I will try giving him some water. My MIL told me to give dates. I gave them in water form. I will stop them now. Also, she want to give him castor oil every other day for bowel movement. I am against to it. I will try water for him. Can you please tell me how much water per day is safe for him. He is 2 months old. So I would like to know the quantity. Also, as one of my friends told me to give him 1 spoon of jeera-dhania water everyday.is it safe?

    Hi April.he is 2 months old. I will stop dates for him.

    Jeera water is safe (cumin seeds). But some kids catch cold with that. But it is of no harm. Water is the safe option you have. Just increase the consumption, but with doctor's advice, anyway it gets separated through urine. No worries.

    Hi

    For my daughter at that age, watered down prune juice, a spoon worked wonders.

    I gave her just 1 spoon of watered down prune juice. Of course, check with your nurse or doctor.
