Too much iron-fortified cereal and formula, huh?
My friend said that once she started her son on cow's milk it relieved his constipation.
Also, fresh fruits are a plus.

Hi my little girl was constipated b4 give warm water if he can take, orange juice, banana works great for my wee girl as well as pears. But there was a time i had to give her lactulose. A warm bath can help too.

Firstly I hope this has resolved itself but a really good remedy for the future is some brown sugar maybe a tablespoon mixed into a couple of oz of warm water. Works a treat!

Cut out bread for a while, too much can bung them up. Try fresh orange or apple juice or fruit puree. If that doesn't work buy some Califig, it contains syrup of fig is is all natural

Up the fruit and veg. Plently of water. Massage the tummy in a clockwise direction to aid movement. Use something like organic sunflower oil for this.

We had this problem with my grand daughter from birth
The doctor will give you Lactose i think its called but we also gave our grand daughter a small amount of prune juice every morning it really worked

Warm orange juice works well - expect a quick result though!!
Up his fruit and veg intake too. Poor little man.
