Am I switching formulas. I switched Arianna's formula from the liquid concentrate to the powder. The name brand was still the same Enfamil and it was lower iron but just powder. Well, it caused the worst possible constipation for her that I have ever seen, and never want to see again. I'll tell you it is the most heartbreaking, heart wrenching thing you can ever witness when you have to watch your baby in pain. She absolutely could not poop, and every single time she did she screamed and you could hear the sadness in her voice. I immediately called Enfamil to see if there is a difference between the two, and she said yes and that it can cause constipation. Well I switched back to the other stuff today, and hopefully all starts to get better. I'm thinking it will as we used probably a whole tin of penatin creme and suppository's (which she didn't like, but it sure helped.) My mom did the work for me as I held her head and cried with her, but with my moms help and advice I never would have picked up what do to. Now my little angel is being fed by her Daddy (was was in the other room because we all know he wouldn't have been able to handle that, as most Daddy's wouldn't)
Again, that's all for now

ohh if that happens again give her some prune juice. That stuff works really well. Mix it with water (half half) and give her an oz or two.
