hello doctor, good evening. my daughter is 6 months old & has been prescribed silybon syrup, carmicide syrup to improve digestion , also for the complaint of constipation. she was Nan-1for last 4months. Now she has been advised for Enfamil A+. how it will work??? plz reply
Hi.  I think you need to start her on weaning foods to improve her constipation.  Reign oatmeal is a good one to start.  Also, you can give Rice oatmeal or kanji. Can add vegetable soup, fruit juice without sugar or little sugar, boiled apple, banana etc. Introduce one new item a week.  If on breastfeeding, continue it and avoid powder milk. Changing milk brand may or may not work. It is just a trial. Generally I don't prescribe silicon or parricide syrup.  Also, not every child passes stool daily.  It varies from child to child.
