His poop comes out like little balls

Oh he is constipated. You can try Kerol syrup (about 1/2 table spoon) with some warm water (2 ounces) and that should do the trick.
It my be his formula that is causing him to get constipated. You need to tell his pediatrician they might change his milk.
Good luck

He is constipated, freshly squeezed orange juice will help. Make sure all your utensils are spotless. Juice 1/2 an orange, sift into a bottle and either feed it to your baby in the bottle mixed with a little boiled cooled water or if breastfeeding then directly and undiluted from a spoon.
It'll pass don't fret.

Agree with all the rest, except for the jerk who said "another troll".....it's definitely constipation. You just may need to see your pediatrician. All baby formula has iron in it, but some are just different types of formula. Your doc. may want to try different types until you get the right one for your baby. Good Luck !

Maybe the formula is fortified with iron or the formula was prepared unproportionately like more milk than water. Give him some cooled down sterilized water.

I just had an appointment with my pedi yesterday and he asked if my baby's bms are soft and i said yea and he said ok if they are ever hard and in little balls that means he is constipated. so yea looks like your poor baby is constipated.

He is constipated. It may be his formula, you should ask your pediatrician for advice to make this easier. His poop should not be hard.

my cousin's son used to be like this.It means your baby is constipated. You need to talk to your ped, maybe he'll suggest changing the formula (if not breastfed) . For my cousin's son they precribed a medicine and he eventually was ok, but when babies are constipated is very painful for them, and it causes colic and gas problems. He's gonna be fine if you talk to his ped.

Well the only think I can think of is if you are feeding your baby formula its the one with the iron! Iron can make babies constipated!

is he formula fed, not breastfed? formula fed babies have hard stools because of the cow's milk.
