Have u tried the q tip trick? Put Vaseline on a q tip, insert the tip and move it in circular motions. My baby was constipated,  and the Pediatrician suggested that and she definitely had a huge blow out about the 3rd time I circled the tip lol. Also I believe u can give 2 oz of prune juice,  but I would call your pediatrician fist.

No problem. I was scared to do it also, but it didn't even phase her while I was doing it. Just be gentle and go slow. Make sure u have quite a bit of Vaseline on the q tip. It worked wonders for me :) good luck!

Have you tried karo syrup in baby bottle of formula or breastmilk. That worked with my first baby. It takes a couple of bottles but it worked very well. The Vaseline works well also, my babies all had to poop after getting temperature taken at the Dr.

Lots of time just juice will make them go. Apple, grape or the prune juice. If you have juice in the house already a ounce of that may help.
