Can pedialyte and water be used for infant constipation? my 7 wk old has hard stools and pain since switching to ar formula for reflux.

Not the best: Pedialyte and water are used more for hydration issues in a child. You need to speak with your Pediatrician regarding treatments for a 7 week old, as "too much" water should not be given either. Best wishes.

Maybe: If this is linked to the formula change and the kid is otherwise doing well with it, a simple supplement may help.Prune juice, full strength adult, not the baby juice, can be offered at 1 oz once or twice a day and this acts to retain moisture in the poo and help it soften.You can increase or decrease the amount based on response.If not helping within 4 days, you may need to reconsider the formula
