Babies If your baby is actively
pushing and can't get a stool out, trying rectal stimulation with some vaseline first is a good idea. If that dosen't work,
a "Babylax" glycerin suppository is safe and effective and avaiable at any pharmacy.
If your baby just goes infrequently, with hard stools, adding Karo syrup to either formula or pumped breast milk can work to make stools softer and more regular. Try 1 teaspoon mixed in 2 ounces, and do that as often as needed. We do not recommend mixing the Karo syrup in water.

to what's mentioned there for colds in babies, a cool mist humidifier in the room is good to help a baby's cough. Also
infant vapor rub is safe to use if needed - apply on their belly or diaper, not on the chest, it's too strong there.
