My son is 6 months old and constipated is there anything that i can do to help him use the restroom until his appointment monday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: Give him extra water, some prune juice (3 ounces 1-2 timed/day), leafy vegetable, oatmeal cereal. If this is not enough, put one scoop of otc MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) in 8 ounces of any drink 1-2 times daily. This will work.
