Need Advice on Infant Constipation

My 2 month old son has had a problem with bowel movements for 3 weeks now. At first the dr. said to give him an enema, so we did that a few times but heard they can come dependent on that so called the dr again and she said two tsp of Karo with 2 oz. of water, but that made his tummy really upset. Now she told me to put 2 tsp. of mineral oil with 4 oz. of formula when I supplement which is twice a day. I think this sounds pretty harsh for someone his age. Has anyone else heard anything about mineral oil? Or have any other suggestions??

Baby Poop Drama

Hello Everyone - My 6 month old son has pooping drama. He is breastfed and just started cereal last week. He has always HATED pooping. His poop is usually soft and I do not think he is truly constipated. He only poops once every 3-4 days and I feel like he is holding it in...you can tell when it has been a couple days because he will be fussy and gassy. Whenever he does poop its like he is misrerable and in EXTREME pain. He cries unconsolably and will fight it all day. I will sometimes give him a suppository if he is extra miserable...
