Hi doctor, My baby who is going to be two month old on august 8 is having irregular bowel movement since last two weeks. We gave him glycerine supposiory thrice and he pooped instantly. I tried giving karo syrup. What is the right proportion to mix with water and when should I give him. ?
If the baby is having breastfeeds you need not think on this constipation... If not passed stool in 3 days give glycerine suppository... If top feeding is the diet then you need to maintain proper dilution of milk preparation - 1 coup in 30 ml water. If not constipation may develop... Glycerine suppository is better than any syrup. Avoid syrups.
