My family doctor advised me to give lax-a-day to my baby, but every time I stop giving it to him he becomes constipated again... Should I continue giving it to him every day?

Yes, it is possible to give laxatives to a baby every day for several months, even in young children. It is important to consider the possible causes of constipation, such as drinking too much cow's milk. It can be helpful to incorporate fiber-rich foods into the baby's diet, such as prunes, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes, and to avoid rice cereals. Offering small amounts of water during meals and massaging the baby's belly can also help. If the baby consumes a lot of cow's milk, it may be beneficial to reduce the quantity and introduce more iron and fiber-rich foods into their diet.
