Asking For Someone else, Son, Male, 0 Years old, Islamabad
Baby 7.5 months old born prematurely now 6 months corrected is on formula feed kendamil follow on stage 2. Has also started some solids. He was slowly transitioned from enfamil AR to kendamil in over 10 days , he has had hard stools ever since he was started on enfamil AR but the last 3 times he strained alot while passing stool had difficulty passing it and a little bit bleeding occurred. Ever since his transition to new formula occurred he has not passed stool. It has been 4 days and also facing gas problems . He does strain as if trying to pass stool but is unable to. Small amounts of water have been given and some purrees of fibre rich fruits
if still blood in stool check physically by pesiatrician
I can help and guide you
you need to contact me
I will guide you properly
No need to worry,,, bowel habits gets disturbed when switching from one formula to other and bleeding can be due to irritation mucosa due to straining. Dont give water, add fibers in diet and also start giving syp prulax jnr or EZCOL
