For those of you who have the pleasure of dealing with a double edged sword of either upchucks without thickening the formula with rice or dealing with constipation by using rice. We received some very welcomed advice from our babysitter regarding softening our baby’s stool through natural herbal means. We are giving our child .3ml or less of Flax Seed Oil once a day (in the morning). DO NOT give your baby more than this (either in volume or frequency), or the stool will be liquid. The .3 has eliminated our baby’s constipation for about 2 months now. Check with your doctor and see what he/she adivses.
