How Can Constipation In An Infant Be Treated?
Hi, i have a 2-month old baby.. she doesn t pass stool for 3days so her pedia gave her half dulcolax suppository. Then she passed stool once.. 3 days after no stool again so i decided to give her dulcolax again then she poop.. my worry is that she might get used of using dulcolax because she cannot poop without it.. she s on mixed feeding (breastfeeding and formula milk) thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think you can consider changing brand of formula.
You can use suppositories to help her but it is not normal to give them everyday or to depend on suppository for defecation.
Try to change formula.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
