Five month old constipation remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glycerin suppository: If a 5 or 6 month-old has been pushing when pooping, or pooping firm poops, a parent can try giving the child 2-3 ounces of regular prune juice, half prune half apple juice, or regular apple juice. A glycerin suppository can help and can be tried first, especially in babies who don't drink juice (some babies gag on juice). If the constipation is ongoing, a doctor can evaluate and offer more ideas.
