  1. call your doc, you never know when something that seems harmless is serious. Good luck


  2. Standard answer: try putting an infant-size (1 gram) glycerine suppository in him - if that doesn't make him do a smelly in 5-30 minutes call the doctor ASAP!

  3. you need to call his doctor

  4. Bananas, applesauce, rice cereal and toast are the most constipating foods for a baby. You should  call the doc. a week is way to long.

  5. don't give him the 2% that is way harder than formula. At this point you need to call the doctor and get something for it. I would recommend to prevent this to keep him on a regular amount of diluted juice. This will help keep him regular. Also if he isn't a;ready then feeding him more fruits and maybe laying off the iron fortified formula.

    But he's needs to be on a regular diet of fruits and vegetables and maybe low iron if he isn't already. But you should really call your doctor.

  6. i think his dr. wuld be a better resource that yahoo answers

  7. Try putting light karo syrup is his bottles. It helps to lubricate it. If it has been a week I would take him to the doctor. I heard that they can go up to five days. After that it is not normal.

  8. are you giving him bananas they bind him. why dont you try orange juice it works on my neices
