About Glycerin Infant Suppositories
Care Glycerin Suppositories relieve occasional constipation by helping to stimulate bowel movement. The surface of the suppository is activated by water, meaning that you simply need to dip the suppository into water to lubricate it, without need for lubricants such as petroleum jelly.
Please note that changes to your child’s bowel movement can be a sign of other health conditions. If your child’s symptoms last more than a few days, speak to your child’s doctor or healthcare provider. Most children will have multiple bowel movements in a day, though some may only go daily or every other day. Changes to this frequency are the main causes for concern.

Practical Tips
Constipation can be a difficult condition to deal with, especially when it’s an infant that is suffering. Speak to your child’s healthcare professional if your child has any change in bowel movements lasting more than a few days. While you wait, follow these simple tips;
Stay hydrated - one of the common causes of constipation is dehydration. When your body is lacking in water, it will draw excess moisture from your digestive processes. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will ensure your body has enough moisture
Try some fibre - while your infant might not be onto solid foods, drinking water and fruit juice may help provide some fibre to their diet. If they are eating solids, pureed veg such as peas or fruit such as prunes can add dietary fibre to make sure things are flowing smoothly.

FAQ
How do Care Glycerin Suppositories work?
Glycerin suppositories work by being absorbed into the body via the intestine. Once they have started to break down, they draw water into the bowel, which helps to move faeces naturally.
When should I be worried about my baby’s constipation?
Most babies will have a bowel movement a few times a day - though some may only go once a day, and for some it’s every other day. So long as they seem happy and comfortable, there should be no issue with regards to their frequency. If there is a change in this frequency, however, it may point towards an issue. Should your baby’s constipation last longer than three days, speak to your baby’s doctor or health practitioner.
