Constipation

Question

Hi Anne,

I have a 4 month old baby boy who is always constipated. He is on breast milk after 5 as I am back at work, during the day he is on purity first stage. What can I give to him to relieve him or make his bowl movement a lot better?


Answer

PARENTING
Dear Mpho,

So sorry - I am not medically trained and so do not feel comfortable to give medical advice - I would suggest that you consult your local clinic sister or doctor.

There are remedies - but this is a very small baby - and you need to get the correct information.

Good luck
