Constipation to my 4 months old baby
My baby is 4 months old and she is completely feeding on formula milk. She is having constipation since last 15 days and is having severe difficulty in passing stools. While doing potty, she is crying a lot and is also having lot of pain while doing so. I tried changing the formula milk brand, but it didn't help. I consulted a pediatrician also locally, he said to give sugar water to the baby. Is it ok to give sugar water to the baby? If yes, then pls guide on how to prepare it. And if no, then pls suggest what to do to cure constipation of my baby.
