A member asked:
I started my 3 month old on baby food 2 days ago. now he's constipated. what can i give him to unconstipate him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Either a small amount 1-2 oz of water or 1/2 strength Apple juice may work. Occasional use of a pediatric glycerin suppository or Vaseline on a rectal thermometer may also help. It is early to start solids so you may want to wait another month. All the best.
