Question: how often can you give a newborn karo syrup?
Answer: As a rule of thumb, you can give 1 ounce a day for every month of life up to about 4 months (a 3-month-old baby would get 3 ounces). Some doctors recommend using corn syrup like Karo, usually around 1 to 2 teaspoons per day, to soften the stools.
