As a parent we want nothing more than for our babies to be happy and healthy. However, there are times in which we notice our little one feeling a bit uncomfortable due to constipation. If you have a little one that is constipated you may or may not notice any signs of constipation other than less frequent bowel movements or bowel movements that are harder than normal. Other times our baby will let us know that they are not feeling well by being cranky, crying or straining when trying to have a bowel movement.

When your baby is very young, one of the best ways to help your baby with constipation is by diluting a bit of prune juice and giving your baby a bit through bottle feeding. You can mix equal parts of prune juice and water, totaling about 2-4 ounces at a time. This should not be given anymore than twice a day. Prunes are a natural laxative and this will usually help move things along. This should not be given in place of a regular feeding but can be sipped on in between feedings.

Another remedy that has been used is Light Karo Corn Syrup. Corn syrup draws water to the bowel causing the bowels to soften and pass the stool. You can mix about 4 ounces of water with a teaspoon of corn syrup and bottle feed to baby. Again, this is not a substitute for a meal. This should only be in addition to the baby(adminname：admin)
