minor constipation

[Anonymous]

My son is fed breastmilk thru a bottle and i put rice cereal in 2 bottles, 2 nights in a row. He would usually have poop in every diaper but following the first night he didn’t poop at all so the next day i put pear juice (off the canned fruit) in two of his bottles. He had 2 diaper fulls later that evening. I haven’t put any cereal in his bottle since. Now 2 days later and he hasn’t pooped at all. Any advice? O, btw, he is taking zantac and we just started prevacid back up yesterday.

Rice cereal is VERY constipating. I learned that the hard way. We were thickening bottles w/ rice when my dd was only 2 months old as well and she was in even more pain from the reflux and the constipation!!

I’d recommend to stop adding rice cereal. If you must, add oatmeal instead!

If he is indeed constipated, (strains, grunts, cries and pushes out a little pebble) try giving him extra water, or a little juice. If that doesn’t help, then I’d use a glycerin suppository.
