Accepted Answer

Dark : Dark karo syrup has been used for years as a constipation remedy in babies - and it used to work well.  Unfortunately, the manufacturing of karo syrup has changed over the last few years causing it to be less effective in treating constipation.  There is also a chance of infant botulism - a very rare form of food poisoning - associated with karo syrup.

That being said, constipation is common in infants and there are a couple of other things you can do to help.

1.) give pear or prune juice - 1oz/age in months/day so in your case 1 oz. Not only does prune or pear juice have sugar which can help soften bms, but also has fiber (notice the gritty texture when you drink it?). This does not mean that you should be feeding your baby juice as a part of her regular diet, but it's ok in daily small amounts to treat constipation.

2.) if juice does not work, then you can try a glycerine suppository which you can buy over the counter. Just cut a pea-sized piece of the glycerine and place it in the baby's anus to lubricate the hard stool. This is not meant for daily use, so if you find that your baby needs a suppository in order to have a bm despite dietary changes, discuss with your child's doctor.

3.) do not use mineral oil, laxatives or enemas. These methods are not safe for infants.

4.) finally, if constipation is persistent and not improved with any of the above recommendations, be sure to contact your baby's doctor. There are some very rare underlying disorders such as hirschprung's disease, cystic fibrosis or hypothyroidism that can cause chronic constipation.

Question 5

similac advanced to enfamil prosobee issues with no bowel movement but normal stools. then hard stools changed to gentlease 2daysago. no bm yet.

Accepted Answer

Soy troubles: Constipation can be a common occurrence with soy formulas.  You may want to discuss alternatives with the pediatrician, but in the meantime infant glycerin suppositories may help.  Infants over 6 months of age can be supplemented with juice such as pear or prune.  It takes about two weeks for the lining of the bowels to re-adapt to a new formula, so frequent formula changes is not recommended.

Question 6

hi my one month old baby is feeling stomach ache and his stool is yellowish whats the best medication he can take i also breast feed and give him nutri baby formula milk?

Accepted Answer

: First ask your pediatrician for help. Then, have your baby evaluated by a pediatric dentist who is skilled in tongue &amp; lip tie releases; usually with a laser. If your baby is lip &amp;/or tongue tied, it can inhibit proper lip seal which allows gas in it’s tummy called Aerophagia. Gut biome is also affected causing discoloration in stool.

Question 7

what are some statistics on the benefits of breastfeeding over using baby formula?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Breastfeeding is still considered "best" in most situations but you must choose what you feel comfortable with. There are several factors to consider and the last thing I tell my patient's moms is to do what is comfortable for their situation. I strongly encourage breastfeeding but support whatever choice a mother makes.

Question 8

which baby formula to start on?

Accepted Answer

Adding formula...: After a baby has learned to be a good breastfeeder, it is ok to supplement breastfeeding with formula. Normal babies can drink any regular cow-milk infant formula (can select a well-known brand). However, supplementation is not needed unless the baby is very hungry after breastfeeding and cannot wait until the next breastfeeding; or unless the baby is not gaining weight properly.

Question 9

should i give my baby formula after nursing?

Accepted Answer

No: Not unless you are instructed to (for weight gain reasons) by your pediatrician or your baby does not seem fully satisfied by your milk production. A baby to feeds well, then goes to sleep for 2 to 3 hours, makes plenty of soiled diapers, and is gaining weight well is likely getting exactly what he or she needs from breastmilk alone.

Question 10

could i lose weight by drinking baby formula?

Accepted Answer

Baby formula: The way to lose weight is to cut your calories down.  Baby formula has calories and has nothing magical to make you loose weight.  In fact,  if you drink enough of it, you can gain weight.
