Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Specialist Questions Constipation

My baby is constipated for a week. What can I do?

My baby is 4 weeks old now and has been severely constipated for a week. He is on breast milk only. The doctors say it is normal for babies to get constipation. But I am worried. What are the natural remedies I can try for him to ease up?

It is not abnormal unless the stool is hard and coming out as pellets
Breast milk is the best natural remedy.
