[momabear86]

Hi. My gal is 10 days old and seems constipated. When she does Poo its little bits and solid. Any tips to help her? P.s I don't want to use a q tip.

We changed her formula which seems to work.

I would also never put anything inside my baby's bum even slightly. You can however put vaseline on the anus to help.the baby pass the.bm

my mom used to give me and my sister water with a lil bit of sugar if we were constipated / had belly aches. It worked really well and were both fine :-)
she also gave that to us within a couple weeks of being born.

No! It is never a good idea to.insert anything in a baby's bottom! Let the Drs donut THEY are trained and.know.which direction to put it, you can hurt baby seriously if you don't.know what you're doing! I just had this argument with my husband the other night cause we got a thermometer for in a kit thing from our shower and he didn't know you could take.baby's temperature anywhere but the bottom even his mom was like "NO DONT DO THAT!" lol
