6-month-old baby constipated for 6 days, what to do?

If a 6-month-old baby has been constipated for 6 days, there are a few things you can do to help. Encouraging the baby to drink more fluids, massaging their belly, doing leg exercises, and bicycle movements can all help with constipation. You could also consider using a tasteless and odorless powder like PEG-3350, which can be dissolved in a small amount of liquid. Consult with a pharmacist for the correct dosage based on your baby's weight. Another option could be a rectal glycerin suppository, but this may be irritating and less effective if there has been a lot of compacted stool. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask for further assistance.
