Infant constipation

MY BABY WAS VERY CONSTIPATED WHEN SHE WAS LIKE 2-3 MONTHS MY DR TOLD ME TO GIVE HER PRUNE JUICE. I ALSO GAVE HER A TEASPOON OF THIS SYRUP CALLED CARO IN HER MILK THAT HELPED HER

!!!my daughter suffered from constipation since she was born and she is now one year old. I finally found something that worked!!! every morning I give her two pieces of rye toast with a little buttter. I take the crust off of it and rip it into small pieces. she loves it and it helps her. also every day I give her a 8 ounce bottle half water and half “graduates mixed fruit juice” these two things put into her diet have been working great. she doesnt sturggle anymore and goes normally finally!!!

You do not have to go to the hospital for infant constipation or get medicine. There are tricks that you can use.

prune juice. it helps. and make her drink a lot. may b change doctors…

ok well I think that if you doctor dont give you no medicen or nun for that then you shoudl just go to the hospital and they should fix it =) allwayzz maymay

Here’s what we used to do for my son:

1 Teaspoon prune juice mixed with some water in a bottle - worked everytime

You can take a cotton swab - put vasaline on the end of it - and massage their anus - sometimes babies have a hard time being able to push it out by themselves and you have to help them.

Take the bottoms of their feet - and have them push your hands with their feet - this causes them to strain and push - and can help them loosen their bowels up and go to the bathroom.

Hey chicky my son is almost nine months old and he was so constipated I tried everything nothing worked. Someone told me to try prum juice and I haven’t looked back it really works for my son also oranges and pear juice.

For constipation there is the p diet Prunes, Prune juice, Pears, Plumbs, Peaches, Pineapple (better than prunes!), and Peas all great for most cases.

(By The way, for diarrhoea, there is the BRAT diet - Banana, Rice, Apple, Toast which all help to stop diarrhoea - so avoid those when your child is constipated too.)

Best tip I was ever given, the P diet and the BRAT diet.
