Loris,

I had the same problem with Ethan and then googled it and it actually came up that Rice cereal can cause constipation. I give him a water bottle everyday as well as breast milk once during the day and at night after I pick him up I also breast feed.

The Kiddies rooibos tea works wonders and that has helped Ethan a lot.

I hope she feels better soon.

Glad she's feeling better! :) Maybe wait a bit with the rice cereal - rice is binding so it can be the reason for the constipation.

thx for your replies.
She actually passed that same day, she cried so much, my poor angel, I put some cooked prune on her cereal/
yesterday and today she went as well, I'm not giving the rice cereal, but one with corn...:-)

My Most immediate response would Be "OLIVE OIL" in the milk and some prune juice if you are able to find it and try cut out the formula for a little while (Iron can cause constipation). Breast feed much more as BM has natural laxative properties. If the tummy is not going by Tomorrow afternoon then I wouldn't hesitate to see your doctor. Also try adding a little bit of water in between or some Rooibos tea. Rice Cereal is about the most easily digestable thing around so unless it is some super iron fortified variant I am sure it's not that.

Being in a small villaige in Israel and not able to find Prune juice I doubt Lacson or gycerine sups are readily available so work with what you most likely have in your home.

If you can find a pharmacy - Lacson syrup and a teaspoon of brown suger in some water, but perhaps a doctor is a good idea. Shame man, I hope you find a solution xx
