yes you can use enema or suppository both means the same. this is made of glycerine, no harm in using it. i have used it on my baby when she dint have bm for 5 days. however b4 that you shld try other things. you can refer my post in this section only under the name : home remedies for constipation

Hi,

I used the anema on my baby a few weeks back and its no worries at all. Infact its not plastic its a type of glycerine. Sou can use it.

Hope your baby is doing great.

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: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.
