How to Mix Karo Syrup for Babies Safely


Mixing Karo syrup for babies can be a helpful remedy for constipation, but it’s important to do it safely. Follow these steps:

  • Consult Your Pediatrician: Before giving your baby Karo syrup, always consult with a pediatrician to ensure it’s suitable for your child.
  • Use the Right Amount: Typically, pediatricians recommend 1/2 teaspoon of Karo syrup per 4 ounces of water or formula. Avoid overuse to prevent potential health risks.
  • Mix Thoroughly: Stir the syrup well into the liquid until fully dissolved. This ensures even distribution and effectiveness.
  • Check for Allergies: Monitor your baby for any allergic reactions or changes in behavior after administering the syrup.
  • Store Properly: Keep the Karo syrup in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Always check the expiration date before use.
