hello , i just found out my son has reflux . and like everyone knows this is a struggle . my son has been on different formulas since born due to problems . we finally changed to soy( good start). dr told me to use that because it is eisier to digest since my son nathan is colic as well . well he still has constipation and that has been a problem since birth also . i have been giving mys on prune juice but he goes but it is still like a golf ball . i dontk now what else to do i was wondering if any other mom has had this and what they did besides juice . my son goes to a new ped next week cause i wasnt happy with other maybe he has something different. o and by the way my son was on nutramigen lipil for 2 days but wouldnt take it but was mad cause the bottles he did take his stools were better . i have a un opened 8 oz can left wont use

Hi there Amy and welcome to the boards. Constipation is no fun. Poor baby! I guess if the prune juice is not working you could try cooled boiled water, if he will take it. Failing that, maybe he needs some proper medication and this might be something that you can discuss with your new pedi. I do know that for both of my boys, the constipation appeared to be related to the formula and once we found one that was tolerable, things got better. Matthew still has problems at times, but overall is better. SOmetimes reflux meds cause problems too (I know Matthew got very constipated with Gaviscon).
I'm sure that Leigh will be along soon to give you some more helpful hints/ info!

When Alexys was constipated when she was really little the ped had us give her mineral oil. Not sure how early you can use it though....but it def works.
