Try adding a tsp of Karo Syrup to her bottle. about 2 or 3 times a day. it always worked for my son who was alsways constipated due to soy formula. Good Luck!

I use glycerin suppositories for Dylan when he is constipated. I bought them at CVS or Walgreens. They are infant size suppositories. You just stick it up their butt and wait for 5-10 minutes and then they poop! Hope that helps!

All i have to do is take Caleb's diaper OFF and he poops! ....in the bath tub, on the changing table....on dad! lol I have also done the leg push and get the knees up to his chest when I can tell he is having trouble. I'll put him in the changing table with his diaper under him and push his feet up with my hands until his knees touch his belly. I hear apple juice works good too.

My doctor recommended a stool softener. Just go to your pharmacy. You should see one there called Colace. It is safe for babies. I warn you though, it tastes so discusting that I made the mistake of putting it right into my babies mouth without tasting it an he puked all over the place. So if you can drop a couple of drops (2-3) into the bottle two times a day. That should break things up a bit. I would wait the full 7 days before any sort of intervention though. 7 days is still a normal amount of time to not poop as long as she is not cranky and uncomfortable. Edwin went three weeks before the doctor stepped in. If you find she is in really bad shape (and this is a one time deal because her bowels could get lazy if you keep it up) give her a little mineral water in her bottle. I would try the stool softener first though. It is much easier on the little bodies. Good luck!

When Kayla went through this I would rub her tummy and push her legs up to her belly and back down. I gave her about 1 ounce of prune juice and 1 ounce water mixed in her bottle. I also tried the thermometer and then she finally went. I know you said you tried that and it seems that you are trying pretty much everything! I would def call the doc. Let me know what they say. I am curious. Poop Mara Poop!!!
