Formula

Well we have just changed Mitch from Karicare for newborns to the one for 6mth olds. (Can't remember what it is called)

He has been on it for 4-5 days now and seems to be constipated.

Anyone else experience this? Do I put him back on the newborn formula? Or should I keep up the new stuff and give him some prune juice (When he was younger he had some constipation problems)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Im sure Mitch will thank you

I'm not a formula mum but I notice Mitch is only just 6mos and I was wondering if there is any reason why you can't leave him on newborn formula for another month? Otherwise I'd probably call the Doc's office for advice.

We've had HEAPS of constipation probs. Caitlin started on Nurture then switched to Karicare (she was bunged up with both). The only thing I can honestly say works to clear her out is a few teaspoons of apple/pear baby food.
If you're not keen on solids yet try a bottle of warm water between feeds, 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar in 100mls of warm water, cirling the legs (like riding a bike) or massaging the tummy (PM if you want details) if all else fails try a chiropractor, that always clears out Caitlin.

Good luck! I know how awful it is
