Characteristics of milk for constipated babies

If your baby has difficulty passing stools and seems to have a stomach ache, there is specific milk for constipated babies.


  • Constipation in infants is not uncommon when weaning from breastfeeding or when changing diet.
  • In this case, you can opt for infant milk that facilitates your child's intestinal transit and has a laxative effect.
  • The main disadvantage of milk for constipated babies is that it is digested more quickly than conventional milk. Do not hesitate to alternate the two types of milk.
  • If the symptoms persist, consult your pediatrician so that he prescribes appropriate treatment.
