However, all my formula feeding mom friends have been battled constipation at different points. I know one friend gives her LO prune juice, but I think her doctor didn't recommend that till he was close to 3 months old.</p> <p>Never noticed a poop change with gas drops, which we use occasionally. My guess is it's the iron in the formula. We tried giving my LO an elemental formula for a couple of days to see how she reacts (because she has MSPI) and it made her stop pooping overnight which I actually liked because a poop at night is a guaranteed LONG middle of the night wakeup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-simethicone-and-constipation#post-1255489 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 08:48:02 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1255489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We experienced this, but figured it was the iron in the formula.</p> <p>ETA: his ped told me it was normal when I told him that lo pooped every other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-simethicone-and-constipation#post-1255487 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 08:46:46 +0000 ladybee 1255487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-simethicone-and-constipation#post-1255275 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:46:52 +0000 ladybee 1255275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has horrible gas that appears to cause him pain. We've been giving him has drops 1-4 times a day. He's formula fed and on Zantac for AR. Well he hadn't pooped in over 24 hours and when I just changed him he had a turd stuck coming out that was way harder than any poop he's had in his 7 weeks of life. Could I have made my baby constipated? </p>
