Re: constipation in BF babies-

I'm no Dr. Jack, but I've only seen this in young BF babies when mom hasn't
been nsg. frequently enough. Have seen dietary factors in mom cause *looser*
stools in baby, esp. with some herbal supplements - fenugreek being one, or
meds.(I've given up worrying about the stooling habits of older babies once
BF is well-established when everything else seems to be going OK - they do
all kinds of things in their diapers!)

Any other problems going on with the baby? How old is the baby? Has Cystic
Fibrosis been ruled out?
