I TRYED PRUNE JUICE KARO CORN SYRUP STILL NO HELP
2006-11-15 05:36:13 · update #1
My baby was on the exact same formula...my ped told me to switch him to the soy form, same brand to ease his stomach. Also they had me put one teaspoon of dark Karo syrup in his bottle to help with all the backed up poop. It helped alot..I only put the syrup in his bottle once and it did the trick and the new formula has helped ALOT!!!

any formula with iron or soy formula will cause constipation...while they all have some iron...look at the % on the ingredients...some are lower than others...have you considered trying prune juice...or apple juice...either of these would help also....if your son is young....try diluting it 50/50 with water....the other suggestion I would have would be to buy some Karo (white) syrup and dilute it with water...any of these suggestions should help your poor lil guy! Be careful not try to many different things at once...his tummy will be an uproar! I guess my favorite of all the above was the Karo syrup diluted with water. You can do this at any age...it won't take much of it. a couple ounces....I would do it every day though if your gonna continue the formula with iron. Best of luck to ya!

my daughter had the same problem. we switched her to prosobee lipil by enfamil, and she has been regular ever since. there is another formula called gentleese (i think its enfamil as well) and it is for sensitive tummies. it is milk based unlike prosobee, so if your son as a milk sensitivity it probably will not help. to get her to pass a movement, we gave her a bottle with about a cap full of white grape juice (my dr. suggested it) and within a couple hours she was fine. she was about 2 months when we did this...so it will probably be ok if your son is that age or older.
good luck

Is ur baby on powdered formula? After I quit breastfeeding, our baby was on Enfamil Lipil powdered, but we had to switch him to enfamil Lipil concentrated formula and that has worked wonders and have had no troubles since. Crazy HUH

My standard issue answer - if karo and prune juice haven't worked, try approaching from the other end with a glycerin suppository. And don't let this drag on for a week - mine were given the suppositories if they hadn't done for three days, and it always produced a result!
