My 21 month old baby has not had a bowel movement in 7 days despite 2 glycerin suppositories. This is starting to worry me. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

First, I never recommend a suppository in children of this age, as it can be a traumatic experience for children, which can contribute to constipation.

At this age, I recommend using Lax-A-Day™ instead, a laxative available without a prescription at the pharmacy.

It's a powder that you put in water and doesn't change the taste or texture.

Happy day!"
