Suggest Remedy For Constipation In 9 Month Old
Hi Doctor,
My Son is 9 Months old and is constipated from past couple of weeks. We have introduced him with formula feeds from his age of 7 months. (Breastfeeding is still continued). We have used dulcolax suppository for a few times noticing that he doesn't pass stools once in two days. Please advice us if dulcolax is safe to use and what is the best diet for him to have his normal bowel movements.
Regards,
Amith

HI
Well come to HCM
Constipation and nine month child, in fact this may not called constipation, it does not matter even if the child dose not pass the stool for days and in my opinion this is nothing to worry no need to give any medicine this would come around, hope this information helps.
