A member asked:
Is it safe to give an infant of 1 month a suppository? how often and what's best for infant constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Many children become constipated but it is by no means normal - many parents use an occasional glycerin suppository without issue but you really should discuss this with your doctor and have the child checked as this is not normal and possibly a change in diet or a medication may be more helpful especially if this is chronic
