happymommyof2

Ok i need help. My son hasn't popped in three days. I had started giving him cereal until he got really sick. He has RSV. However he seemed a lil constipated from the cereal but was still able to poop. Now he has RSV and I quit giving him cereal because he has a hard time breathing but now he hasn't popped in three days he is miserable. I'm stuck at home while my fiance is as work he won't be home till late tonight. What can I do to help him. He is 4 months. I tried a lil Apple juice but he refuses it. I've given him tummy time and did the bycicle legs any advice would be great he has been screaming in pain.

My 3 yr old son used to suffer so bad with this when he was a baby so got plenty of advise!
Weaken babies bottle - example - instead of 6 water 6 scoop milk do 6 water 5 milk

Give baby cooled boiled water

Give baby cooled boiled water with a teaspoon of pure orange in

At 2 large pinches of SOFT brown sugar to babies bottle

When your changing baby sit with his legs pressed against his chest for a while

I used to water down his bottle and put the soft brown sugar in and sometimes bring his knees to his chest for a while and it used to shift it
Hope this helps!
