Do not give your baby enemas, laxatives, or suppositories unless you are told to do so by the doctor.

At what age can you give a baby a suppository?

No. Pedia-Lax® Glycerin Suppositories are designed for use in children ages 2-5 years. Talk to your pediatrician about use in children below age 2.

How far do you insert a suppository in an infant?

Insert the suppository into the rectum (bum) with your finger, aiming it toward your child's belly button. The suppository should be placed 1/2 to 1 inch inside the opening of the rectum. If it is inserted deeper, the suppository may pop back out.
