How much Lax-A-Day should I give to my 9-month-old baby?

For a 9-month-old baby, you can give Lax-A-Day powder to help with constipation. The recommended dosage is 1 gram of powder per kilogram of the baby's weight. For example, for a baby weighing 8.5 kilograms, you would give 8.5 grams of powder. You can ask your pharmacist for more information on how to measure this amount accurately, or you can use the recommended adult dosage as a guideline and give half of that to your baby. It is also important to encourage your baby to drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in fiber to help soften their stools.
