Green stools

Hi,

Which was the formula you gave first? My son, almost 5 months now gets lactogen 1 (one feed). Otherwise he is breastfed and has moong dal-rice khemti. When he was exclusively breastfed he would pass regular stools and they would be green sometimes. I havent checked with my doc yet, but it would be good if you can let me know your brand. I may need to change the brand of formula then.

bowel movement

my baby is 18 days old and is only having a bowel movement when given a glycerin suppository. Then when she passes the stools green paste like and smelly is that normal? I was just worried about the fact that she does not go on her own and we have to give her a suppository. I was not aware that her stools should not be green or smelly.

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 Karthik this is a serious issue and you should look into this matter very seriously as its concern with your own child and you cannot let things go, have a good consulting done by a good doctor.... - Amaira [View Message]
