Can one use glycerin suppositories every week?

Using glycerin suppositories every week is not recommended unless under medical supervision. It is important to focus on incorporating more fiber-rich foods, fruits, and vegetables into the diet, as well as ensuring the child stays hydrated. Avoid giving rice cereal or large amounts of cow's milk. Other methods to help with digestion include massaging the belly in a clockwise direction and doing bicycle leg movements while lying on their back. If glycerin suppositories are still needed, a product like PEG3350 (Lax-A-Day) may be recommended instead.
