Evaluation: The baby may not be receiving enough formula and the constipation may be secondary to dehydration. Provide feeds more often eg every two hours, feed slowly at an angle and discuss thickened feeds and medication with your pediatrician. Other causes such as pyloric stenosis should be considered.

Can you get constipated from switching from laxative to laxative? I couldn't poop for one day, so I took senna laxatives for two days, took prune juice for three days, still couldn't poop and now I'm trying to take magnesium citrate on my fourth day?
