A member asked:
My 3 month old bottle fed baby is constipated. what can i do to help him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Also, is he truly : constipated? Babies don't need to have a bowel movement every day, so unless the stools are very hard, and infrequent and he is uncomfortable, you don't need to do anything. You can give him extra water in between his bottles of formula. If that doesn't help, please consult with his doctor.
