thats ment to be the case – boiled water. Are you giving him enough bottle – underfeeding can cause constipation. You havent been giving him a bit of rusk have you? I know mothers that give babies this far too early, their stomachs cant handle it yet.
If it continues then see your health visitor – there are baby suppositories

boil some water and let it cool but give it to them luke warm…should do the trick.
reduce the milk intake somewhat as milk does cause constipation

If baby is bottle fed cooled boiled water should help and be very sure the formula in her bottles is correctly diluted

A few oz of cooled boiled water should help but if not try what my health visitor told me to do.
She said to put an oz of orange juice (obv without bits in!) and an oz of cooled boiled water to make 2oz.
I havent had to try this yet as my little boy has always opened his bowels when threatened with the OJ!!
He was around 5 weeks when she told me to do this so it’ll be ok for your baby.

cooled water isn’t enough for your babies constipation, you need senacot which is a little pod you put inside the babies rectum it works so go to your GP & ask for some as they are very good.
