i have a 9 wk baby boy & he is suffering from consipation, he has had some very tiny pooy nappies and they are quite watery. he seems in pain after feeds, i am bottle feeding & breast feeding at night which he has been fine. the only thing i have changed is that im back on iron tablets (he didnt react to these before). not sure what to do really. the doc didnt give me any advice !

2oz cooled boiled water plua 1/2oz pure orange or prune juice will soon get him moving!
my little boy really suffers and he has lactulose, it takes a few days to get into the system and then makes the poo soft and easier to pass. I think this is only for when its really bad though.
