Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 2 month old baby girl who is pooping once every few days (3-4). She is having lots of smelly farts all the time. She seems to be pushing and straining alot, but nothing comes. She is crying alot too and really hard. When she does poop its dark brown/black and pudding-like. Its seems to shoot out in a fart. I am formula feeding with Similac Sensitive Lactose-free. I also use gripe water a couple times. Should I go to Soy?
You may chose to give anything that suits your baby but if you can get chebulic myrobalan called Haritaki and give its scrub to baby, it will do wonders.
If dried stool is stuck in anus, extract it mechanically by inserting your gloved, gelled small finger in anus of child. It will clear the way.
Then chebulic myrobalan may be ground against clean, hard, rough stoned object in kitchen etc by adding drops of water and get the extract and give to your baby (simply allow her to lick). May add in honey too. This may be done twice or thrice initially and then once a day. Even if lose stools come initially, do not panic.
It's said in Ayurveda that mother may become angry with baby but not the Haritaki. It will increase baby's appetite and digestion also and detoxification will be natural.
It's harmless and safe. No need of any other medicines. Try it once.
For any other questions, pl write direct question.
