Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

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.
