A member asked:

Have a 7 weeks old formula fed baby. she has been on similac total comfort formula and has been suffering from constipation. on her 6 weeks check up doctor advised to try nan perlagon but she is now very fussy, still constipated and refluxing a lot.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation ?: If it is soft when she goes it is not constipation. Infants often struggle when they poop . If it is hard/bulky I find 1 oz of full strength prune juice 1-3X/d spaced out will act as a natural laxative & get them moving in 2-4 days.
