1 month &a week baby
my son is constantly constipated and is a month & a week old.does anyone know a formula that doesnt have iron in it?he also wakes up a lot at night,is there anything I can do to help him try to sleep at least most of the night? thank you
Mandyloo is 100% on the money.
As for constipation:
-His formula may need to be changed, but you need to talk to his doctor before you switch formula’s. When my son was having problems he was on Enfimil, and the took him off that and put him on Similac.
-Some other things you can try: Caro Syrup (the dark one), put 1 tsp in a 4 oz bottle next time he eats. That helps him have a bowel movement, it worked with my son every time.
You can also try prune juice - just one teaspoon in some water in a bottle.
To help him push it out - when he's laying down on his back, put the bottom of this feet in the palms of your hands - and push against his body - he will push back at your hands with his feet and legs, and it will help him push everything out.
As for sleeping:
-He’s only a month old - and you still have a while before he is supposed to sleep all night. He still needs to eat every 3-4 hours so he is still going to wake up for nighttime feeding, you can’t and shouldn’t try and get around that. Enjoy this time - because it will be over soon. I miss my midnight feedings with my son.
I asked the doctor if he can have water and he said that he cant because of what is in the water.he said that I can only give him water if he id dehydrated.does that sound right to you or should I ask another doctor because everyone I know is saying water and when I tell them that they say that they never heard of no water.
he is already on similac.I switched him from advance to sensitive but it doesnt seem to be working.the doctor said I could change him to whatever formula I wanted.but all the similacs have iron in it
MY DAUGHTER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . THE DOCTORS SWITCHED HER TO GENTLEASE BY ENFAMIL. IT WORKED BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ONE. ALSO WHEN YOUR BABY CAN START EATING FINGER FOODS I HIGHLY SUGGEST GIVING HIM OR HER RYE TOAST. MY DAUGHTER HAS SUFFERED FROM CONSTIPATION SINCE SHE WAS BORN . SHE IS NOW ONE YEAR OLD AND FINALLY OVER IT. EVERY DAY I GIVE HER TWO PIECES OF RYE TOAST. I BUTTER IT LIGHTLY , TAKE THE CRUST OFF, AND BREAK IT INTO SMALL PIECES. SHE LOVES IT AND IT SERIOUSLY WORKS!!! ALSO TRY GIVING YOUR BABY A BOTTLE OF 1/2 WATER AND 1/2 “GRADUATES MIXED FRUIT JUICE” THATS ALSO IN HER DIET NOW AND THE PROBLEM IS FINALLY NOT A PROBLEM ANYMORE!!!
The syrup really works! I used it with my both my kids.
