My baby is 2 weeks old today and he is constipated...I was wondering if anyone knows any home remedy type things to fix it. Someone told me to add some apple juice to his formula which I did and it's too soon to tell if its gonna work. I was just curious if anyone had heard the apple juice thing and tried it or if there is anything else I could do?

ook chickie don't use apple juice it will give bub severe tummy pains as they aren't meant to have that at 2 weeks, there tummy tums can't handle it and you will only cause bub to possibly stay constipated and or have more probs....

The one and only thing my doctor said to do with a baby for constipation is add 2 teaspoons on brown sugar (not raw has to be brown) to approximately 50ml of cooled boiled water and do that once in between each feed for 24 hours and that should make a difference

Mite need dif.formla

half a teaspoon of karol syrup or prune juice in a 4 oz bottle or a full teaspoon in 8 oz bottle once a day.

You can make a 4 oz. bottle of formula and had one tablespoon of Karol Syrup, if your making two ozs. bottles use two teaspoons of Karol Syrup. This helps a lot, you might have to do it to two or three bottles in a row.

However how long since the baby has done a bm? He is really new to be having that much problems. It might be the formula, you should definately check with the baby's doctor. Some doctors don't consider it constipation until the 5th. day.

A trick you might try, buy some pediatric glycerin suppositories and take off your little guys diaper hold up his legs and insert the suppositiory about a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch or so, just hold it there to give the baby the urge to go poopie, plus the glycerin melts a little to lubricate the bottom to help him or her go. This works great and have used it several times even to a 18 month old who has eaten too much mac and cheese.

baby's shouldn't have water or juice until they ate 6 months old.

Hope this helps.
