A member asked:
Baby is 1 month old. switched from nan to novalac ar1 at 2 weeks old for reflux. baby has now been constipated for 1 week. can i switch his milk again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,,,but: If the reflux has improved there are other ways to manage this. Full strength prune juice given 1 oz 1-3 times a day will loosen most infants within 3 days. They don't absorb the sugars in this as well as older kids/adults so it works as a stool loosener.
