A. If your baby’s poop is hard and you are using formula milk, here are some steps you can take to help relieve constipation: 1. Ensure Proper Dilution: Double-check the preparation of the formula milk to ensure you are mixing the correct amount of powder with water as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Over-concentrating formula can lead to harder stools. 2. Hydration: Offer small sips of cooled, boiled water between feeds, as hydration helps soften stools. 3. Tummy Massage: Gently massage your baby’s tummy in a circular motion to stimulate bowel movements. You can also try bicycling their legs to encourage digestion. 4. Formula Alternatives: If the problem persists, discuss with your pediatrician whether switching to a different formula brand might help, such as one with partially hydrolyzed proteins, which are gentler on the digestive system. 5. Pediatric Consultation: If these steps don’t help and your baby continues to have hard stools, consult your doctor. They may recommend safe, baby-friendly stool softeners or evaluate for other underlying issues. Constipation is common in formula-fed babies, but with these steps and proper guidance, it can often be managed effectively.
