I can understand your concern regarding constipation in your child. You have used many laxatives till date. But i would like to know whether you have evaluated your baby for this constipation.
Your baby needs some blood investigations to rule out thyroid dysfuction,any intestinal anomaly should be ruled out.
You may try following: 1] Drink plenty of water. 2] use diluted juice with water or plain sugar water. 3] High fibre diet. 4]Flax oil one teaspoonful in a day. 5] You may use glycerine suppository.
