Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Lahore

My baby is 20 days old, 3.4 kg at the time of birth. He's on combination feed, formula I'm giving is BF 1, when he was born i gave him BF1 but changed the formula to aptimal due to some people totkas ( I'm regretting now) again he's on BF 1 My query is he's constipated from last 5 days he pass stool only when i insert suppositories. Today only once he passed stool by his own. But again in night he was crying badly. He passes stool 3 to 4 times in a day with suppositories. He's crying continuously I'm first time mom and i can't see him like that. Please doctor tell me what to do I can't give him aptimal now again, so what else i can do. Also I'm giving him colic drops, 3 drops (twice in a day). JazakAllah.

First of all don’t use suppositories and colic drops . You should concentrate on mother feed As baby is very young , I advise better to get him examined by a child specialist Constipation is not a problem usually in this age group until there is some underlying organic disease. It may be milk protein allergy but baby needs to be seen and evaluated properly

I don’t think it’s Lactose intolerance Babies mostly have diarrhea with perinatal rash in case of Lactase enzyme deficiency Symptoms of your baby are not due to lactose intolerance
