A member asked:

What can i give my 2 month old baby if he is having a hard time pooping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try a little juice: At 2 months old, i would rcommend trying a little prune juice for your baby's constipation. I would dilute the prune juice with half water. 2-4 oz per day should suffice.

Dr Sparacino agreed
