A member asked:

My 1 month old,formula fed baby is having formed, solid stools. what do i do to make his stools softer;change formula to a lower iron,give him water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Formula change: Constipation can be a common occurrence with formulas, especially soy. You may want to discuss alternatives with the pediatrician, but in the meantime infant glycerin suppositories may help. Low iron formulas are never recommended for infants other than those on iron supplementation.
