Creams sold for baby constipation aren't usually just moisturizers—they're things like glycerin suppositories or prescription products your doctor recommends.
With constipation, diet comes first: if baby's over 6 months, add water and fiber-rich fruit purees (pear, apricot, prune); if under 6 months, only talk to the doctor. Constipation cream (like a glycerin suppository) is only for when diet changes haven't worked and your doctor suggests it—and always at the dose your doctor says. Don't try a cream or suppository on your own, especially in the first 6 months. Even over-the-counter products need the right dose.
Bottom line: Try diet adjustments first. If nothing changes in 24-48 hours or baby seems uncomfortable, call your pediatrician.
