What can you do for constipation in your newborn?

Answer 1

Feed him Maltsupex. It works every time, and is the un-constipator. -------- First thing to do is to consider the diet of the baby. There may be reasons that the baby is constipated. You can consider a teaspoon of cod liver oil and see what happens in 24 hours but if a baby goes more than 4 days without a bowel movement it is a medical emergency and they MUST be seen at a hospital as a matter of true urgency! (I am a doctor)

Answer 2

There are several things that you can do that will help your baby feel better when he/she is constipated.

1. Give them Prune Juice/baby food.

2.Apple juice.

3.Rub their tummy/ Bicycle kicks.

4.Give them a warm bath.

5.Give them a warm bottle of water.

6. Put something warm on their tummy.

Hope this helps your sweet baby feel better!

Answer 3

It would depend on the cause of the constipation. But if a baby is having bowel problems they should be evaluated by their pediatrician. It can be anything from a low fiber diet to a serious medical condition like Hirschsprung's disease, which can be fatal if left untreated.
