My baby Paxton has been constipated off and on for about 3 months I took him to his doctor and he gave him some medication to help and it did... for awhile so I changed from cows milk to soy and that has helped but he has been constipated off and on he know is afraid to poop. So what I am asking dose anyone know what I can do, anything can HELP because he needs some help. I have changed his diet I cut out a lot of food that we give him and changed it with stuff that has more fiber in it. But I am out of ideas. So someone please help us....

Hi my daughter has been constipated and it all began when she had to switch to this whole milk. I mean it was to the point where my baby hated to move her bowels she would clinch her butt cheeks and yell out crying & it would be so hard. So I took her to her pediatrician & he switched her to 2% milk, & that didn't help I thought that maybe she wasn't getting enough veggies, then I thought"ok I have to give this milk time to adjust to her system". But long & behold the same problem she still was yelling & crying & afraid to go because it hurt so bad, so I called her pediatrician & her recommended a G.I.(Gastrologisst) so I made her an appointment a.s.a.p. & we went & her checked her throughly & asked me all that she had eaten & how much. He said that a lot of babies he had saw with the same problem so he told me to get some Miralax a stool softner & to mix it with her milk juice anything she drink & give it to her 1 time a day. And I'm so happy cause my daughter isn't afraid to go, so that's what I can suggest but 1st check with your pediatrician. I've tried it all prune juice,baby suppositories, no bananas cause that binds (clog) them up even more. But I still think its this milk if these people stop giving these cows all these injections of different things & just let them be then our babies wouldn't have these problems I've asked her pediatrician can I change her milk to soy but he said no, so I just continue with my solution then I don't give it to her for a little while, but then the constipation comes back. I hope I was able to help.

My son has the same issue. His ped told me to give him pear juice, it is thicker than apple and tends to work better. I would give him a 4 oz botttle 3 times a day, which worked pretty well. With him eating solids now that doesn't always work, so I have used Karo(MAKE SURE IT IS THE DARK ) syrup mixed in water, which works well. It may take a day or so to see result with the syrup, but when you do it usually is pretty big!
