Hi Ladies!! my 5 month old son has hard poop all the time, he starts straining and I have to take his diaper off and lift his legs up to help him get it out!! sometimes he gives up and it goes back in and sometimes he cries, he eats veggies and some fruits but it is still bad. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Add a tbls. of Cairo syrup to one bottle a day... this loosens up his stool. It worked for my son and we had no more struggles. Once he seemed to be on a decent schedule, stop with the syrup because you don't want him ingesting that much sugar for too long... Good luck!!!

I give her one sippy of cup of water down juice(apple/prune or pear) and it helps keep everything soft and no straining. I make sure she gets lots of water also. This works for us.
