2 MONTH OLD CONSTIPA: You did not say if he is breast fed or bottle fed.The stools in brest fed babies can vary from stool everytime you feed the baby, from loose to pellets, which is all normal.In bottle fed babies they can also have stools like you described, if the baby is happy and not irritable and feeding well, i will advice to let nature take its course and reassurance and just observation is all thats needed.
