How To Treat Chronic Constipation In Infants?
hello, my 4 month old has not had a dirty diaper in about 6 days. He has had wet ones but I can see him struggling when trying to poop but nothing ends up coming out. I have tried giving him an oz of pear juice as a nurse told me to do about 2 months ago but it did not help. not sure if this is normal.
