My mom told me to always give a baby water with some karo syrup in it, works like a charm (and she raised 7 kids). (She said 4oz with about a tablespoon of karo syrup once a day) It`s just works as a stool softner not a laxative.

make sure he`s eating lots of fruit...the foods highest in sorbitol (undigestable sugar) are prunes, cherries, and pears. Stay away from apple juice, because it will plug him up more.

have u tried prune juice & whole grains....harder poops are normal as long as they arent hurting or straining,.... poops will change as meals change... my oldest son had problems with that..and u will know if its hurts!

Ok, this is all great feed back. He loves fruit, and I give him fruit with almost every meal. He has strawberries and/or watermelon with his breakfast and lunch (along with - if it`s breakfast, cereal/toast, if it`s lunch, he`ll have ham and cheese or bits of some kind of meat/protien)... will bump up the veggies more though he usually does ok with veggies at dinner time. His poops do look more normal, as in getting older, but still only once a day now and harder than I think is really OK for him just yet. Maybe not though, it may be normal. Still, I`m going to add more veggies to his diet and definitely give him more juice too, so BIG thanks for that advice. I went out and bought more formula, he wont drink it now. And, I also bought a dozen jars of 3rd stage baby food too to try to see if that will help a bit but he doesn`t want anything to do with me feeding him anymore. He`ll shake his head now when I try to feed him baby food. :)

Im not too sure about the poop thing, but milk isnt really good forpeople like the docs say. youd be a lot better if you were taking calcium pills. milk is espicially not good for children that young. My sis was giving it to my niece for a little bit, but switched here to rice milk and someitmes soy milk for a change, and she was so much healthier after that. Rice milk is better tasting i heard then soy tho, but my niece loves it and for her calcium she eats yogurt and takes children vitamins.

I wouldn`t give him whole milk. My doc said to avoid it until age 1.
