What medicine can you recommend to a new born baby for constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define & use natural: If your baby is having firm stools that are hard to pass, i accept the issue as constipation.If breast fed, stooling less often& skipping days i would leave it alone if still soft. A vasaline coated q-tip can be manipulated just inside the anus & help a hardened glob pass. I've had success with undiluted prune or apple juice, 1oz once or twice daily.Water may also help
