Question: Hi Dr. my baby is 8 months I have struggled since day one with her milk. At this point she is drinking nutramigen has baby gerbers and water by itself it with some juice. She gets constipaded often passing hard stools and occasionally with blood I don’t know what I can give her for this to help her poop. Should I change her milk? For this reason is why I have not done a lot of solids for her everything I give her is very well blended.

Brief Answer:
Detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
For first 6 months exclusive breast feed should be done.
So unfortunately child would show problems like hard stools constipation,As the hard stools would erode the soft mucous membrane of rectum and can cause mild bleeding.
I would suggest you to give her 2ml to 2.5 ml of stool softner castor oil for few days and see if stool gets soft along with it add some prune juice to it also.
Tell me after 3 days.
Thanks.
