How Can Chronic Constipation In An Infant Be Treated?

My daughter is 7 months old, I m breastfeeding and started introducing foods about 6 weeks ago as per my pediatrian. She has averaged about 2 bowel movements a day, but has been constipated for 2 days. She had one small hard bowel movement last night, but it was painful. The pediatrician told me to give a little baby prune juice, baby prunes and pedialyte, which I did today, but she is still straining and crying and only small hard pebbles come out. Is she too young to use a glycerin suppository?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

At this point you can use microclisma pediatric for kids and infants because you can't let her in pain anymore. You can apply it yourself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
