Quoting NerdyGirl3:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Ashley{15 weeks}:</b>" for all the idiots saying give him water, ... [snip!] ... Nor did I give it to them everyday. Just ones or twice. Warm water helps clear them up a little and helps get gas moving."

right! when I would give water it was hardly an ounce.......and she has only ever had it 3 times in her 6 months of life so far!

i gave him a tiny bit of apple juice last night and still nothing 
doc said if nothing works in a few days she'll do something about it.

EBF with nothing else since hes been home.

I breastfed both of my babies. And because breastmilk is so easy to adjust my daughters would poop atleast twice a day. Which is why breastfed babies eat more than formula fed babies. It's goes through their system so easily. Constipation is not at all normal for a breastfes baby. I would try gas drops it worked miracles when my girls would be fussy due to gassy bellies. I would also try the warm soapy water up the tush.
