Is glycerine bad for my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily.: Glycerine suppository chips are frequently recommended for babies who are constipated. They stimulate the rectal muscles to relax and allow easy bowel movements. They should not be used too frequently, or the baby will become dependent on them.
