Soy formula with constipation HELP

edited September 2011 in Pregnant
Has anyone switched their baby to similac isomil and had problems with constipation? My one month old just does not poop easily anymore. Any comments/suggestions

  • Yep we had that problem with my first. Best thing that worked with her was 1/2 ounce of prune juice in her bottle as told by the pediatrician until she went. I usually did it twice in one day and it worked like a charm and didn't have to do it again for a week or more :)
  • I might run to thw store to get some. I feel bad for my little man. If its not one thing its another

    I was freaking out cause my baby hadn't gone for days so we bought the baby prune/apple juice within a few hours she went. We gave her about half an oz and boy did she go :D she was about a week old when she had this problem. She was on strictly breast milk but because I was on strong pain meds in the hospital it constipated her.
  • She was a week old when you gave her the juice? Juast wondering since I have a one month old
  • I switched my baby to enfamil prosobee(soy) she got a lil constipated for a couple days and I just have her some extra water in he'd bottle. That was at one month old...now her body is used to it and she poops just fine! 4 months old now.
  • Apple prune juice works wonders also did you try the thermometer trick
  • Yes a week old....she hadn't gone for five days so I called her pediatrician and he said a Infant suppository (a piece) or small amout of prune juice. There was no way I was going to do the suppository :(
  • I tried the stimulating her bottom with a thermometer but had no luck. I barley put the tip in....I was to scared!
  • Im going to try enfamil brand. Some of my friends totally trash similac. Also trying juice if no movement by tomorrow
  • What kind of apple prune juice? Any type? toddler or just regular juice
  • I switched my baby from Enfamil Newborn to Enfamil AR for her acid reflux. She had the worst constipation! I tried stomach massage, the thermometer, everything. I saw solid poops come out of my little 1 month old baby girl that hadn't come out of my 2 year old! I started adding a tablespoon of dark Karo syrup to every other bottle and it softened everything up and now she goes with out issue.
