A member asked:
Soy formula fed baby sleeps, feeds, and urinates very well. however, she has been constipated and in pain when straining. what remedies can i try?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soy troubles: Constipation can be a common occurrence with soy formulas. You may want to discuss alternatives with the pediatrician, but in the meantime infant glycerin suppositories may help. Infants over 6 months of age can be supplemented with juice such as pear or prune.
