Feedings?: What type of feeding is he taking? Breast milk or formula? Breast milk is rarely constipating. You may need to try a different formula (soy is more constipating than the cow's milk type)- check with your doctor first. You can add a tablespoon of dark karo syrup to one feeding a day to soften the stool. If not better, check with your doctor.
