my 3 month olds bowel movements have become irregular?

Question

for the past month his bowel movements have been every 5 days or so and sometimes hard to pass ( constipated ), He is also bottle fed i'm going to take him to the doctors but does anyone know how often it should be (he used to be every 2 days) and what could be causing this now since he has been on this formula since he was 5 days old. He also gets eczema.

Answer 1

My baby was like that although she was breast fed. The doctors put her through test after test. It was horrible. In the end there was nothing wrong. That was the way she was though she was never constipated. She is a happy, healthy, normal teenager today.

Answer 2

You should definitely intervene if he hasn't done for 5 days. Go for the rapid relief option - a glycerin suppository or babylax should make him do a smelly..

Answer 3

You offer him water to drink?? If he is constipated, orange juice works well too - just diluted it well for him.
