Constipation is characterised by changed or infrequent bowel movements. There may be discomfort when stools are passed as they can be hard like pebbles and the infant’s stomach can become bloated with crampy pain.

What can you do to manage constipation?
Breast milk is most compatible for babies and constipation is not often a problem.

If you are already bottle feeding, ask a healthcare professional or pharmacist about trying a specialist constipation formula which may help improve the situation. Changing to a specialised constipation formula is a natural way of improving constipation without resorting to laxatives, which can have undesirable side-effects and are usually not indicated for use in infants.
