I can't recommend any syrup or medicine for baby constipation. Constipation syrups—ones with lactulose, glycerin, sodium phosphate, or other active ingredients—should only be given by a pediatrician after looking at your baby's age, weight, and why the constipation is happening.
If you think there's constipation, try these simple steps first:
- Under 6 months and breastfeeding only: have mom drink more fluids, do gentle bicycle leg movements with baby
- Over 6 months and eating solids: offer pear, apricot, or prune puree, add more water, try foods with healthy fats like olive oil
- Never give honey, molasses, homemade oil mixtures, or anything else without doctor approval
If it's lasting more than 2-3 days and baby's belly is swollen, crying, or pooping blood, call your pediatrician.
