Specializes in Pediatrics

Breastfeeding: Your baby is not constipated. Breastfed babies can have a stool with each feeding , go once a day, or sometimes don't go for as long as a week.. If your baby is having difficulty you can give her a bottle of baby prune juice or insert a glycerine suppository in her rectum.
