7 week old baby with hard stool?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Infant-hard stool: Is your baby being breast fed or is the baby on formula. If on formula, contact your doctor about changing the formula to help with the problem.

It is abnormal: ; week old infant should not have hard stools. He is probably formula fed. The solution is to try a different formula or give the infant some water or diluted juice 2-4 oz per day.
