Newborn constipation
DD is 5.5weeks old
She looks to be straining a lot in the morning, and grunting, like she wants to go poop so badly
and so far she poops every 2 days or so, definitely not every day
Is there something I can do to help her poop? Or should I let it be and let her strain?

Re: Newborn constipation
My ped. told me to give DS 2 oz of prune juice mixed with either formula, BM or just 2 oz of water.
It worked!!!!! My cousin has had to give her DD prune juice everyday since she was 6 weeks old!
Good Luck
