4 month old constipated baby

Hi. Baby is exclusively breastfed -- except for prune.water mixture I gave her two nights ago. Has not had a bowel movement for about 7 days.

Baby is sound sleeper...doesn't seem to be in distress or discomfort.

Does have fair amount of consistent gas, which has an odor. Also has some mucus in nose, eye corners.

Lots of saliva, drooling...perhaps beginning of teething.

thanks!

consider mother's diet and state of health-----also no discomfort with constipatin ---calcarea carbonica--as mother is to take med --baby wil be treated through breastmilk

Thanks for the reply. So I gave the merc sol and the next day the baby had a chiropractic adjustment. Pooped w.in a half hour of the adjustment...very silky and creamy poop. Since then baby has been pooping A LOT -- almost diarrhea like, watery and very green and somewhat mucousy. Also, baby had a low grade (100.7) temp for two days over weekend.
Temp is now normal but baby is night waking (not usual for baby), arching back a lot and more crying than usual.

Pedi checked ears, throat etc. and saw nothing.

Suggestions? Thanks!

possibleadjustment --has someresidulapain envolved--soas getting the arching and crying---asalso may consider merc dosing has an overeffect---agin i willsay mother'sdiet and wellbeing need be part of the consideration

thanks. chiro adjustments are literally jus touching. wouldn't be any pain.

what do u think i need to consider in my diet? I eat balanced, local, healthy....should i eliminate dairy 4 now?

may not be diet exactly---may be herbs -herbal teas--meds being used ----etc possible skin coverings--sensitiity between child and mother mother breastfeeding could be anything---as well could be emotional--as enviremnt mother dwells in will affect----this reason mother takes med at these times----what you state of health at this time? what complaints exist for you (no matter how small the issue?
