Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Is the formula cows milk... that will cause it... try one teaspoon of light Karo syrup in 4 ounces of water will often get things back on track. Try giving him some of this... Suzijalisic579 wrote: Hi, What I can give to my baby grandson for constipation.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Jasmina, Here is the IC #3 formula - maybe if you have some of the herbs you can make it up and follow instructions on dosage. I would take a little out of the tincture and let the rest sit and "ferment".... Suzi Intestinal Cleanse # 3 Equal parts by volume of the following all organic ingredients: 1. Fig Syrup2. Prune Syrup3. Senna Leaf (powdered)4. Ginger Root (powdered)5. Fennel Seed (powdered)6. Cherry Bark (powdered)7. Turkey Rhubarb Root (powdered)8. Cascara Sagrada Bark (powdered) 9. Whatever volume you arrive at with the above mixture, use again as much of 50% Organic Maple Syrup and 50% Pure Vegetable Glycerin by volume. Let sit for two weeks and then strain (press). Best is to make on the New Moon then strain and press on the Full. Dosage for a small new born baby would be to start off with 5 drops with his evening meal and then increase by 5 drops on a daily basis until you get the desired effect of 3 to 4 easy bowel movements a day. On an older child, start with 1 dropperful (goes half way up the tube) and increase daily until individual dosage is reached. You don't even have to have a nerve supply to your bowel and this formula will make you poop! jalisic579 wrote: Hi, What I can give to my baby grandson for constipation.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 It's a corn oil syrup of sorts...(get it in the store)... I'm only suggesting this if you need something quick and don't have any herbs (IC # 3) on hand.. Suzijalisic579 wrote: It is not cow milk. It is baby formula, I forgot the brand.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I will sure keep this formula on hand. But for immediate relief why don't you try anal stimulation. At that age the reflex to push is not always there and by stimulating the anus it will trigger it. Worked every time with my kids and nothing given.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Check with your doctor, but it is normal for breast fed babies not to have a bm for a week at a time. A good rub on the tummy is good, too.
