My daughter has failure to thrive and severe constipation due to this the Ped put her on Oatmeal to try since its not suppose to bind her up, Which came to our surprise that she screamed 3 days straight and had hard b/m. We called the pedi and he had told us to try Barely which we started Thurs. Now 3 days later my poor baby is yet again screaming in pain and arching herself backwards. I dont know what to do any advice out there???

Are you using formula or breastfeeding? It sounds like her digestive system is not ready for solid food. Grains are hard to digest and I have no idea why it's always the first food babies are put on. Probiotics help regulate the digestive tract and help move things along.

Might try mixing her cereal with prune juice. Might help with the BM being softer. Maybe some in a bottle if she will take it after she eats. I think at 4 months I was mixing cereal with a bottle of breast milk or formula. If you are using a milk based formula might want to try a soy based it might be easier on the tummy and she might have a dairy intolerance... Good luck! I hope you find a solution soon!

baby pureed prunes. I dont know how young allergy tests can be done to determine if those things are making her sick. breastfed or bottle fed? if breastfed you may have to alter your own diet.
