i have a 3 week old baby boy. he seems to be very constipation. hesscreams when hes going to the toliet n hes wee face goes red n the poo seems to be reali hard. i was just wondering can u give a baby that young anything

Cooled boiled water should help

do u know how much water?

Put about 3oz in a bottle some babies will only take a few sips other will drink it happily. Are you breast or bottle feeding?

thanks for ur help. i was breast feeding 4 the first to weeks now on sma gold.

may be worth changing formulas

Nicole was constipated when she was a baby and the ehalth visitor told me to add an extra ounce of water to her bottles, seemed to do the trick.

my health visitor told me to buy a fresh orange, check its sweet not sour then add one level teaspoon to an ounce of cool boiled water, we done it to 2 ounces and my word did rhiannon poo.. she did 3 nappy fulls in 24 hours, just an idea but ask ur health visitor if u can give it to ur baby coz he is younger than mine X

i tried a pinch of sugar in my water sma is a little heavy at first i had same problem but them went fine. x

I would not give my baby sugar

but yes, cooled down boiled water is fine!

was he constipated whilst you were breastfeeding as well, as this shouldn't be the case
