  • Milk of Magnesia (i think that is how you spell it). My youngest brother had the same probably. Now i'm not sure what age you can start giving them that.. so I'd call your doctor and ask. But it worked great for him! Hope you find your little one some relief!
  • Give him 1 oz of warm water once a day..that will make him poop
  • My doctor told me to give my daughter baby prune juice and mix it with water ....
    But I would ask ur doctor cuz they might have you try something different!!!
  • Take a q-tip, dip it in vaseline, and swirl just the tip of it around in your babies butt. Sounds awkward but it usually helps and your baby wont even notice. Good luck!
  • When my first baby had that problem at 2 months the nurse told me to give him 2 tbls brown sugar in 2 oz. water and it worked almost right away. But you should call his on call doctor and ask first. Hope little baby feels better soon.
  • push his legs up to his tummy gently.. my daughters dr told me to do that along with rubbing her tummy.. it helps her
  • Dark brown Karo syrup a tablespoon in each bottle til he goes
  • Just give him some water. That works and you don't need a doctor to tell you. It's not like water is gonna kill him and obviously you wont feed him water 24/7 just an ounce or two. Now if the problem continues then talk to his pediatrician. :) hope little man feels better.
  • My doctor told me to try a warm bath and putting legs up to tummy and if that fails put some vasaline on a thermometer and stick it in their butt a little ways and that would help. It may be hard to do but it works
  • Thanks you guys (: so far I've tried the q-tip and vasaline, and an ounce or so of warm water, still with no success. We have been up all night trying to get his bm to come out but not working :(
  • My friend just had this problem the other day, her nurse told her that pear juice is the best for the little ones. Good luck!
  • Take the lil squirt nozzle for their nose squeeze water in it put some vaseline on the tip and squeeze the water in his butt
  • The reason itll work is cuz its going straight to the rectum now after doing it twice and if hes passing just water and no lil chunks it could be the milk or something else
  • Give him baby pro biotics every day. This has made a HUGE difference in my son. It regulates digestion.
  • gerber baby pear juice it works like a charm my son was on soy formula and it made him SOOO backed up the doctor told me to give him 1oz pear juice and 1/2 to 1oz a little warm, it works really well i still have to use it now sometimes when my son gets backed up and it still works! try it girl i pinky promise it will work!
