Bowel and Bladder Movements:constipation (Hetal pl.reply)
2007-09-20
Name: chafa



I have 10.5 months old daughter who has constipation issue after she was 6 months old and when I started her with solids. I am in USA. She is on all fibre diet. I do not give her rice,banana...she just takes vegetable purees...Her dr put her on lactulose which does not work anymore...Now she put her on miralax....I am just scared that my daughter will depend on laxatives. In US drs do not suggest orange juice or cow milk till 1 year. Now a days she is just throwing up formula. Her dr also suggested that we should do x-ray of her colon with barium anema. Anybody has gone through such a kind of chronic constipation with your child? Please advice with any home remedies.

Do try pureed prines. u can buy pitted prunes. Cover and boil 6-8 of them in water. since ur daughter is 11 mts now she can have it in pureed form. give her 2-3tsp of this and rest u can store it in fridge. but use within 2 days.Give her this puree until her bowel set rights. This has helped my 6 month old. I hope it works for u. Prunes are rich in iron as well. Do try this and let me know. All the best.

Hello,

Pls do not do the barium test..not needed.

try sofsena and livoluk as a combination..check with doc on dosage.
try fibre fruits and veggies...raisens soaked overnight and dabur janam ghutti.

try reducing milk to 150 ml in 24 hrs ..baby will improve.

tomato puree also helps

god bless
niki

RE:Baby cries while passing urine - Hetal pls advice
At the same time the child is feeling some pain So try to understand and consult a doctor.... - sharmasanvi [View Message]
RE:bowel movement in 2 week old infant
Some babies go through phases when they either can't use the muscles to empty their bowels or they "forget how to". In that case, it's safest keep using the suppositories daily to make them do a dirty in 5 minutes.... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:where can I get laxative?
You can get either glycerin or bisacodyl suppositories in any Indian pharmacy - I recommend saving money by not buying child-size ones, instead cutting adult supps in half to make a child-size dosage.
(I have a daughter with long-term bowel issues: she can't "do" without them!)... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:constipation
When the baby is in discomfort from constipation (especially if she hasn't done some dirty for two days or more), the first thing you should give is a glycerin suppository.... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:hi
Most doctors say banana doesn't help - the potassium in it makes constipation worse. Remember you can make your own prune puree in a blender. Grape, grapefruit and papaya are also laxative fruits. And remember you can safely use baby suppositories as often as you need to (they also help with "training" the baby to do a dirty at the same time every day)... - Su 03 [View Message]
RE:Baby Movements/Development
Consult a good doctor immediately as this should not be ignored as it will cause a big issue if you let it go now, please seek doctors advice on immediate basis.... - Aditi [View Message]
RE:Baby Movements/Development
Hi there please be calm and relax as it happens sometime the child takes little time to start walking or crawling also but in your case the child should have started crawling if not walking.... - Anita [View Message]
