Constipation in a baby: what should be given?

For a baby experiencing constipation, you may want to consider incorporating more dietary fiber, such as mashed vegetables or oats. Prunes or certain cereals containing prunes may also help. If these measures do not work, you can try a medication like Lax-A-Day based on the baby's weight, or utilize anal stimulation with a suppository or thermometer. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new treatments for constipation in a baby.
