constipated little baby

[dinkydo]

Im such a noob, i swear youd think all i talk about was the poop shoot ha ha.  No but seriously , my little 5 month old is having constipation and its really hurting him, any tips on it.

Fluid, as much water as he will take.  Water as apposed to any other kind of drink because some fruit juices will dehydrate.  Wet food/ cold food, cucumber, apples.  some foods can be very drying and tough to pass like carbs, leave off the heavy starchy stuff for a while like white bread etc. 

The other thing to note is that if he/she is always too warm they will loose too much water with sweat. 

If you want to try a little yogurt, at 5 months they are nearing the age where you can introduce dairy, a little yogurt often results in loose stools. 

If he/she has not passed feaces in about 24/48 hours go to your GP, they might give her/him an enema.

Some ppl also say that letting them roll around with no nappy can help to stimulate them to go.

I hope that helped
