Subject: How to relieve constipation in a formula fed baby?

Any advice for a baby who has constipation because it is given artifical
baby milk? :(

I have suggested:
*massage
*goats formula instead of cows based formula *warm baths *warm bottle/cup of
water

Her MCHN suggested brown sugar, which didn't work.. surprise surprise.

Not having really dealt with this problem I don't know what else to suggest.

Blessings,
Rachael
