A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: A wk old baby that is breast fed can have a little stool every feed or one overflow diaper every 7-10 days. If it is soft when he goes it is not constipation & needs no rx. If he is formula fed, and passing hard pellets, you can use juice.1oz of apple or prune juice 1-2x/day will help most.
