Feed him Maltsupex. It works every time, and is the un-constipator. -------- First thing to do is to consider the diet of the baby. There may be reasons that the baby is constipated. You can consider a teaspoon of cod liver oil and see what happens in 24 hours but if a baby goes more than 4 days without a bowel movement it is a medical emergency and they MUST be seen at a hospital as a matter of true urgency!

∙ 12y agoIt would depend on the cause of the constipation. But if a baby is having bowel problems they should be evaluated by their pediatrician. It can be anything from a low fiber diet to a serious medical condition like Hirschsprung's disease, which can be fatal if left untreated.
