Suggest Treatment For Constipation In A 1 Month Old Child
i have twins, a boy and a girl. they are two months today. they were 1month prem and i have been breast feeding since birth but they have been in and out of hospital for the last two months so while in hosp, they were drinking Nan 1 formala. my pediatrician also told me to start with nan top ups because my BM is not healthy enough for them.(doesn t have enough vitamins and minirals in.) After drinking Nan top ups for a week they have been constipated and we are still strugeling to get the tummies rite for the last two and a half weeks. i have to start them on only formula and am to scared to start on anything. what can i do? can i start them on lactogen or will this have the same effect on them as the Nan?

Babies who are on formula feeds are constipated from those babies who are being breastfed.u don't have much benefit if u change the formula. symptomatically treated with lactulose syrup.
