Prune juice?

Question

Anyone’s ped recommend prune juice to help with bowel movements? If so how much are you giving and are you diluting it at all? If so with what? (Ie. Water or breast milk). Thanks for any input!

Answer

Talk to your doctor first, especially if baby is breastfed they shouldn’t be given anything other than breastmilk.

Answer

I read babies shouldn’t be given juice until they are 6 months or older and even then very sparingly. If your doc recommended juice, you should ask them how to give to your baby specifically. Is it that your baby is constipated or has less bowel movements than you think they should? It’s common for them to not have as many as they used to. I’m not a medical professional but maybe do probiotics instead? You should definitely have more in depth convo with your doctor first though before starting a regimen. Good luck! 🤞🏻

Answer

Pear juice from the baby section was recommended. I put 2oz of pear juice in a bottle with 3oz water and mixed the formula like I would for a 5oz bottle. Only had to do it once after my son didnt go for 4 days.

Answer

Yup... 1 tablespoon per ounce of water. That was breastfeeding or bottle feeding instructions from the doctor when my son was still breastfeeding
