My baby was born 8 weeks premature and is getting breastmilk still but he has to have 2 bottles a day of formula for the extra calories. Plus he gets an iron supplement which I’m sure is causing his constipation.
He has not had a bowel movement on his own for over 3 weeks. I have had to give him a supposetory every 3 days so he’ll go. The doctor says it’s normal for a baby to not go everyday…but every 3 days, come on. Today is the 4th day of trying Karo syrup but still hasn’t gone. How long and how often do I need to give him Karo before he will go? Any suggestions or other ideas would help…
He is 10 weeks old now
