Suggest Remedy For Stomach Uneasiness
I had my hand on my 6month old's stomach trying to calm him when he woke up, just now, and when he moved it felt like there were marbles in his stomach that hit my hand. What could this be. WIC recently switched his formula, could that have something to do with it?

Ideally till 2 years of age baby should be breast fed. In case the formula is constipatory and is not well tolerated hard stools may be felt on palpation. Evacuation maybe require either with suppository or by manual stimulation. Mother needs to be counselled for breast feeding even if partial feeding is done. As the baby is 6 months old supplementary foods should be introduced as culturally acceptable.These measures together can take care of constipation.
