My 1 month old on soy formula has been constipated. tried prune juice and it's not helping. how often can a suppository be given?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soy milk: Soy milk can be constipating. Another formula may be helpful. If not, get dark karo syrup and a tablespoon or two to the soy formula once or twice a day as needed to prevent constipation. This is assuming that he has a normal bowel system.
