Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4 mths baby experiences a lot of gas problems... Many times he passes stool once a week..(he remains irritated one day before & after).. He is exclusively breast fed.. We used repositories a couple of times.. What do u suggest? We dont want to give him medicines
hello i have read your query.Actually babies who breastfeed exclusively are rarely constipated. Breast milk has the perfect balance of fat and protein, so it produces stools that are almost always soft. sometimes if baby is dehydrated it can also cause constipation.water and an ounce of prune juice a day for 3-4 days will work for sure if you don wanna give any medication. hope this ans helps
