Your grandchild need more fiber in her diet.  Certain type of formula make babies constipated.  You should ask the doctor.

i did he said karo syrup in every bottle

If Karo syrup isn't working I think you ought to get a second opinion.

I would give the baby Prune Juice it seemed to work for my son

You're right, it doesn't seem normal to me, either.  Start looking for a Pediatric Gastroenterologist and make an appointment.  A baby shouldn't have to suffer this way.

I've been thinking about this since your post. Has there been any improvement? Perhaps just moving her little legs for a while (like she's running in place on her back) to give her some exercise. That might help to get things moving. It's worth a shot.

And this sounds creepy, but you might try massaging her anus with some petroleum jelly on your finger. That feces just needs some encouragement to get rolling out. I'm all about trying all kinds of natural things.

Babies sometimes have problems like these. I hope you're not all too worried about it.

It will turn out well in the end. Get it.  That's my pun of the day to make you feel better. Hope it worked.

Well that's a good sign. My son had the same problem when he was a baby. Constipated for a little while then started going regularly when I gave him prune juice which he liked

She shouldn't need surgery for that. Just keep doing what you are doing and she should be ok.

[hensleyll]

ok linderlizzie thats cute but yes we have done all this and she is going almost regurly or close enough twice a day now which is a big improvement

[bowrunner]

Glad she is doing better and hoping the doctor visit goes well.
