Anyone have any advice for me? My 2 month old has been really constipated the past couple of weeks. The doctor finally okay'd me to give her a very small amount of juice. I've been giving her suppositories, but I think she'll become dependent on them if I keep giving it to her. She exclusively breastfed too, and it's very rare for bf babies to become constipated. I'm trying to change my diet, but don't know what to eat and if it will help. Please help! THanks!

water, give the baby plenty of water. i too am suprised to hear about a BF baby being constipated. she will not become dependent on the suppositories. if they are working give them to her. but water really works alot. and then take her to see another docotor if this doesn't work

Thanks, I've tried that but it didn't work. Plus I am having a hard time giving her water since she's never had a bottle and doesn't know how to use it. The doctor said that if juice doesn't work to bring her in again. I hate seeing my baby so uncomfortable!
