Can The Baby Food, Elecare, Cause Constipation And Frequent Urination?
My 10 month old daughter started Elecare 10 days ago, at first was happier disposition, softer poops. Now back to being tearful and grunting with each poop, peeing through 2 #5 diapers worn at the same time. Does Elecare make my baby pee more? She was constipated on other formulas and we stared her on daily prunes. She is 18# and was started on Elecare for a poss Milk allergy by a Peds Gastro.
