The enema usually contains glycerin - in the US it' s called Pedialax. It works well and it' s safe enough to use often (if necessary)

Hi Gauri,
Yes enema is definitely allowed for babies but you need to discuss with your doctor first. How old is your baby and where do you live? Here in US you get FLEETS/ENEMA over the counter, it has glycerine( I guess) in a small tube that you need to place in rectum and use it like a syringe.
How often is your baby constipated? Based on my experience, Enema is really the last step for constipation. There are other options you need to try first before giving enema. It may be a good idea to talk to your doctor abt your baby' s history, feeding and bowel pattern.

BTW this is my first post in this board and I hope to participate more.

Good luck!
Uma

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
