When the infant has constipation he can turn into fussy. If within 2 days or more infant does not go to defecate, he's probably suffering from constipation. Here are some simple tips that can help the infant to be more smooth bowel movement
Try using stimulants (suppository)
Stimulants such as Glycerin is safe enough to use for small children and infant. Glycerin is like a candle that can relieve constipation by stimulating the rectum and "lubricate" the intestinal wall so that dirt can be removed more easily. However, be sure to use a suppository only when strictly necessary. Using a suppository on a regular basis can make a baby to become dependent and unable to defecate without the help of the substance.
Use a thermometer
Use a rectal thermometer that is approved for use in children.
How do you use? Lubricate the thermometer with jelly or lubricant and insert it into infant rectum. Be careful not to put the thermometer more than 5 cm. Do not worry if you see the rest of the dirt on the thermometer. It just shows treatments were effective!
Give a little syrup
Add one teaspoon of syrup in a bottle of infant formula.
Syrup will absorb the water along the digestive tract of children and thereby keeping stools moist so easily removed
