Constipation : Constipation is the passage of a dry, hard stool - not necessarily the absence of daily stool. If you suspect your child may be crying because he is ill, call your child's doctor. That being said, constipation is common in infants and there are a couple things you can do to help. 1.) give pear or prune juice - 1oz/age in months/day so in your case 2 oz. Not only does prune or pear juice have sugar which can help soften bms, but also has fiber (notice the gritty texture when you drink it?). This does not mean that you should be feeding your baby juice as a part of his regular diet, but it's ok in daily small amounts to treat constipation. 2.) if juice does not work, then you can try a glycerine suppository which you can buy over the counter. Just cut a pea-sized piece of the glycerine and place it in the baby's anus to lubricate the hard stool. This is not meant for daily use, so if you find that your baby needs a suppository in order to have a bm despite dietary changes, discuss with your child's doctor. 3.) do not use mineral oil, laxatives or enemas. These methods are not safe for infants. 4.) finally, if constipation is persistent and not improved with any of the above recommendations, be sure to contact your baby's doctor. There are some very rare underlying disorders such as hirschprung's disease, cystic fibrosis or hypothyroidism that can cause chronic constipation.

While true....: Most babies around two months old are starting to achieve intestinal colonizing of normal floral bacteria. Our stool is mostly made of bacteria than any other component when we excrete it. Naturally this will cause the stool to firm and therefore lower the frequency of the child stooling per day or per week. Constipation should be addressed if the infant is in discomfort or exam in abnormal.

Breast babies: Breast fed infants can go a little every feed or overflow a diaper once a week. If it is soft when they go i don't worry about it.Be prepared for a generous volume when baby does go.
