#AskTheExpert Is it okay to use infant glycerin suppository on a 7 month old baby?

A. Can use rectal glycerine suppository if advised by doctor only And also note this : Constipation is quite common in babys less than 1yrs of age  No need to worry for that  Give tummy times ie putting baby on his or her tummay   frequently  in a day time (4-5 min each time) under observation will help.   Feed ur baby as per demand  Burp properly after each and every feed for at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp.   Keep a watch on urine output  Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day  If baby is feeling discomfort or crying exessively then  Need to do rectal stimulation, apply some drops of oil over rectal area  It will help.   If it doesn't work then  Need rectal enema, for which u need to visit ur nearest  pediatrician once.
