Characteristics of milk for constipated babies
If your baby has difficulty passing stools and seems to have a stomach ache, there is specific milk for constipated babies.
- Constipation in infants is not uncommon when weaning from breastfeeding or when changing diet.
- In this case, you can opt for infant milk that facilitates your child's intestinal transit and has a laxative effect.
- The main disadvantage of milk for constipated babies is that it is digested more quickly than conventional milk. Do not hesitate to alternate the two types of milk.
- If the symptoms persist, consult your pediatrician so that he prescribes appropriate treatment.

Painfully constipated… like several days… please help. Tried: magnesium, milk of mag, fiber, tums, Miralax+similar.

Be careful ! I was advised by my OB to never take Mangesium/milk of mag while pregnant . The only the powder miralax is safe.
Constipation is so bad in pregnancy I had it to the point where I couldn’t go but once a every two weeks but getting a nutritionist helped me alot these
high fiber foods will help you release everything so much !
Lots of Water to get things moving / prune juice (also don’t be afraid to drink a small cup of coffee at home)
lentils #1 will make you go.
Also black beans, kidney beans, soybeans, and chickpeas
Oatmeal especially the instant oatmeal with flax seeds in it berries strawberries raspberries apples oranges pears and potatoes help !
Try to avoid dairy as much as possible it makes constipation 10x worst it’s horrible for the digestion system
I hope this helps 💛

Make sure you have enough water in you that usually helps me. And even stretches to help flow.. I did have to stop prenatal for a couple days when it got really bad

Hi ladies, my 7 month old baby girl is chronically constipated . I’ve tried changing formula breast milk prune purée a lot of things but she seems to get worse . Anyone else have any suggestions I just want her tummy to be normal . 😮💨
Sharita
Prune juice or apple juice my 7 month old daughter have the same problem and I tried prune puree, but it didn't work, so her doctor recommended me giving her prune juice and warming it up like you'll do if you were making a bottle and it worked like a charm
