Hi

For the past few days my little boy has not been able to pass stools as he normally does and is screaming with pain when trying to go.... Does anyone know what I can give to help as he is only 11 weeks......

Hi is FF and on the Aptamil AR milk as he has slight reflux and has been on the milk for 2 weeks now and has been fine. Before he was on the comfort milk and have given him a bottle of this today too see if it helps.

I heard water in between feeds helps but also adding sugar to water??? Has anyone tried this

Hi there, had the same issues with my little one. Dont panic, go to the pharmacy and buy some glycerine suppositories. They are natural and u just pop one in with a bit of baby oil. After about 30 sec to a minute, stand clear and the action will happen. Its scary the first time, but it doesnt bother them at all and it works every time :) obviously ask the pharmacist about the logistics etc edited by CandiceH on 02/03/2013 Thanks will go and see if I can get some. The AR milk is so good I don't want to come off it and have read after 2 weeks on the milk it does happen but passes ?
