You could take a sliver a soap….wet, and rub around and just inside the rectum to help loosen the stool, or give him some diluted prune juice, he isn’t too young. I did that with both my children and it worked wonderfully. But also, breastfed babies, poop alot less then bottle fed babies. If he doesn’t improve take him to the doctors.

Some water with some pear juice in a bottle. Like a half and half mixture totalling 1-2 oz.
If he won’t take a bottle use a medicine dispenser or a sippy cup.

Breastfed babies can go a few days without pooping if he isn’t fussy then I wouldn’t worry about it. Babies grunt alot so it’s hard to say if its b/c they are trying to go. Constipation in a breastfed baby is not too common.

I heard:
boil some water (to sterilize it) put a little bit (like a pinch) of sugar into the bottom of a bottle, add the warm, sterile water. shake it, and let it cool (obviously) to a desirable temperature and let him eat a little bit of it.

good luck

try a bit of mineral oil in his bottle – less than 1/2 teaspoon
it is clear, odorless and tasteless, and your baby will be having some “smooth moves” real soon

Well he is too young for prune juice. I would use Karol syrup just a 1/2 of table spoon in one of his bottles. Also, pushing his leg gently to his belly may relieve some gas.

Any kind of boiled herbs like tea will help.

My niece is having that same problem, try a little syrup (the clear one not sure what the name of it is) with about 2-3 ounces of warm water.
I am Hispanic and my mother would make us a tea from this plant called manzanilla. It also helps them fall asleep.
Good luck

Breastfed babies can go for up to a week without having a bowel movement! Your milk is so perfect that there is just less waste to dispose of! I wouldn’t worry about it untill it has been over a week. Then I would call your docter. I wouldn’t try introducing a bunch of “home remedies” if I were you. My guess is that your baby is fine and will produce a stinky in a day or so.

There are two basic types of constipation – organic and functional. Organic constipation is a result of some physical change, obstruction, or distortion in your colon. This type of constipation needs immediate attention from a doctor.

This article only covers Functional Constipation. This type of constipation is a result of not following a proper diet, drinking enough fluids, having good emotional health and not having a good lifestyle – a lifestyle that promotes good movement of digested foods through the intestines and colon.

Even though there are many definitions for constipation, constipation is simply a condition where the fecal matter traveling through your colon remains too long in your colon before traveling out the rectum.

Constipation is a symptom and not a disease. It is a condition that tells you your colon is not working properly or that you have some underlying gastrointestinal disease you are not aware of.

Constipation may be a warning that your diet and lifestyle are causing an imbalance in your body. It is a symptom that many people ignore or that many people try to eliminate by using unnatural and oftentimes dangerous drugstore laxatives.

Drugstore laxatives should be avoided when you have constipation. They can become habit-forming, damage your colon, and have nasty side effects if used too long. They sometimes have the tendency of creating the problem you are trying relieve – constipation.

To keep your body in chemical balance, it is important to use only natural remedies for constipation. Natural remedies such as herbs and foods bring into the colon those nutrients that can build up your colon and reactivate your natural peristaltic action.

As you use natural remedies, keep in mind that one particular remedy may not work for you. You may have to try a different remedy or increase dosage of the one you are using. If you supply what your body needs by using a specific remedy, then you will get results from using that remedy.

Experimenting is part of finding out what remedy is best for you. There are many different natural remedies you can choose from. Look on the internet for “natural remedies for constipation” and you will find many listings.

Keep in mind that most remedies should be used only for a short time, two to four days and not longer than 2 weeks. They should only be used for the time needed to clear your constipation. This might be just 4 or 5 times or sometimes it may take several weeks.

There are some herbal combinations that can be used for longer duration. These combinations can improve your colon’s health and get your bowels moving again.

If you have constipation, the natural balance and function of your colon has been affected. But, natural remedies can bring you colon back into balance.
