My son is four months old and has been constipated for over a week now. He does poop but they are big turd poops (like his older 16mo sister passes) He is on Soy because he had bad gas on the similac formula. He sleeps through the night when his gas/constipation doesn't wake him up.
I've read a little on other questions about what to do. We've tried prunes and giving him a little extra water, which doesn't seem to help. Some previous answers suggested apples (which I'm trying now), brown sugar water, caro syrup (which I heard was bad for babies this young??) and other types of formula.
Any tried and tested methods out there? Should I change his formula again?(He gets gas from powder so we have to buy it in a liquid form, and even then he gets gas if we switch from ready to feed to concentrate!!) I'd love to hear from other moms who have/had babies like this cause although he's my four, he's my first with all these tummy problems and he's driving us crazy!
