Answer 1

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

Answer 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!

Answer 3

you need to call his doctor

Answer 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.

Answer 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.

Answer 6

Answer 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.

Answer 8
