Apple Juice worked for my son! 1-3 oz not watered down and within an hour he had a full diaper
Try medicinal castor oil. A few drops inside her will get d poop right out
For Heavens sake this is days past doing something off the internet. Get that child into the ER. She has all the symptoms of a bowel obstruction. I am only a retired nurse but that is what I would do if she were mine.

Glycerin suppositories. 5 days is already built up of a lot of discomfort. You can buy them over the counter at Walmart, Walgreens, rite aide, cvs, etc. Gently hold the suppository until it melts. Baby should be in a position to help relax and release. P.s. too much iron could also be the problem, but 5 days is a long time. If doesn’t go after suppository, I’d go into ER and not wait till doctor appointment.
I took my son to the doctor when he was a baby because he didn’t poop for a week and all they did was put a thermometer in his butt (they were taking his temp) and a weeks worth of poop came out
My so had constipation struggled from 3-5 yrs old tried everything asked to see specialist. Finally saw a doctor that had seen this before anyway he was diagnosed with hyersprungs disease
Couldnt hurt to mention it to drs as it is very hard to diagnois.
Go to an er or urgent care. No not use suppositories without medical guidance. Do not give karo syrup or anything like that. It’s outdated and for good reasons.
I would also talk to the doctor about changing formula.
Facebook has a lot of people giving advice that can actually hurt a lot of kids. A doctor ASAP is the best thing you can do. ETA: sometimes it’s not just constipation and requires surgery. Giving a child anything laxative like if a bowel is twisted could kill them.

Glycerine suppository. But I’d be scared she had an impaction. Take her to e.r.
Please go to the ER!! They know what needs to be done, this is one of those times where you don’t ask FB for advice!!
If its been 5 days get to pediatrician or urgent care…they will make sure there is no obstruction and recommend a good regime for her

Pedia-Lax works wonders all my kids suffered from constipation. And I still use it on them, they are 3, 4 and 6.
Small dose of miralax powder in Gatorade couple days but I would check with your pediatrician first
Sometimes putting a rectal thermometer in their heiny will stimulate a poop.

Try Miramax my son did that and that’s what we used his started at 9 months
I’m guessing you already changed formulas?
Apple juice & use the Fridababy windi
Dark Kari syrup in milk or formula
go to ER to be sure she does not have a bowel obstruction
Feeding her some ripe papaya
Light caro syrup very light
Apple juice. Water. Fruit
Blair what is the thing you had?
Karo syrup in juice.
Karo syrup I swear it works… My poor little guy had horrible constipation just a teaspoon full in 8 oz of whatever she drinks or 1/2 a tsp in 4 oz… It really really works…
Did she recently transition into cereals and baby foods? When my little guy first started cereal it would constipate him so I started mixing pureed blueberries with the cereal. They are gentler than prunes and kept things moving. Also he had a yogurt every morning and like clockwork he’d poop.
Maybe she wasn’t ready for all that food !! 9 months is still kinda young. Breast milk would do the trick and if u formula feed that could stuff up too. Milk makes my 12 month old poop a lot.
Prunes or any juices that start with the letter p or pedialax I have the same problem with my son and these have helped a lot
5 days i would take her to the ER to make sure there’s nothing else wrong
Apple juice mixed with cereal
Use microlax dr it always work
