Nope it's not safe but give him mylicon helps very well 0.3

It's going to work fast so be ready

Please avoid giving your baby water. I also use mylicon (simethicone) for my baby and it works well. Also, at this time, he may be learning how to fart and poop on command so this is normal.

I looked it up and it says gas relief ., he farts but doesn’t poop
Will that still help ?

What are you classifying as constipated?
It's normal for a breast fed baby to go 48 hours with no poop
Start with a warm bath, rub their tummy after and do bicycle legs.
My son absorbs all of the milk he eats and goes often every 2 days not daily
He has lots of wet diapers.
The midwife said this is fine.
If your concerned call your Dr.
I wouldn't start with suppositories or enemas. And absolutely no water! Their little bodies are just developing to start with poop aids is teaching their body not to do it in their own and a world of issue as they grow.

My 7 week old didnt poop for 3 days and only pooped once we started feeding him an extra ounce. After like 4 feedings he finally pooped and jt was explosive

I use gripe water and mylicon drops for gas. My baby was constipated and I used the mommy bliss constipation relief. Worked after one dose.

Probiotic drops by Mary Ruth. They make one safe for under 6mo. It's the precision probiotic. You can find it on Amazon. Both my kids are on probiotics, they are extremely beneficial and crucial for gut and digestive health. They can also help with colic, gas, constipation, reflux, etc. I notice a huge difference in them if they miss even 1 day of their probiotics.

We do probiotic drops for gut health & mylicon every now and then when needed.

Prune ! Even a tiny amount !
