What Causes Constipation In A Baby?
should we be concerned that our 9 mo. old baby is experiencing constant constipation, we are giving him Prune juice, stopped his formula w/iron, and giving him water. The first time it happened he was constipated for 5 days, then he had a blow out and then leveled out for a week, and now he is right back to the same constipated state, but he is now not sleeping good and has a dry red eye starting. Should we be overly concerned?

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Constipation is a common problem throughout childhood and often accepted as a normal variation that resolves as children get older. To prevent complication for constipation you should allow the child to eat food with vegetables, fruit and drink a lot of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
