I had my hand on my 6month olds stomach trying to calm him when he woke up, just now, and when he moved it felt like there were marbles in his stomach that hit my hand. What could this be. WIC recently switched his formula, could that have something to do with it?
Ideally till 2 years of age baby should be breastfed. In case the formula is conservatory and is not well tolerated hard stools may be felt on palpation. Evacuation maybe require either with suppository or by manual stimulation. Mother needs to be counselled for breastfeeding even if partial feeding is done. As the baby is 6 months old supplementary foods should be introduced as culturally acceptable. These measures together can take care of constipation.
