What to do about Constipation

Question

My almost 1 year old is very consipated lately. Anytime she eats no matter what it is she will get backed up, when just a few weeks ago she was fine. The dr said to give her pear or prune juice one other time she was consipated but it only helps for a limited time. Could she be allergic to come food she eats? Or is is this something I should call her pediatrician about? She already has a milk allergy so we stay away from that.

Answer

Is your baby drinking enough water? Also I give my kid honey bunches of oats and it helps her poop let the cereal sit for a few minutes on the milk and it becomes mushy

Answer

4oz of prune juice, mixed with water, and Naked Green Machine juice everyday. Lots of pears and applesauce and mandarin oranges. My daughter went through a really rough patch of hard poops and didn’t want to poop. We tried everything but this is what we do that actually helps. Days she has more veggies and soft fruits, we do a little less prune juice. Always give it earlier in the day so they’re not pooping all night

Answer

Its your baby on formula? Is he drinking water? Is he having fruits?
Before giving him any kind of procesed cereal (like a raisin bran), try giving him some fruit (like cantaloupe and papaya) if he doesn’t like fruit, try raisins. If he doesnt like it (i know how they can be very picky lol) a lil psylium husk on a drink its great, it can be on a juice if you normally give him that or with water. 
Also, nutritional yeast is high in fiber, add it you the foods he normaly eats it has a nutty salty flavor, i suffered horrible conatipation after having my baby and it was a lifesaver, you dont even notice it on foods.
Im certified in child nutrition and BLW, so maybe give those a try

Answer

Water is always a good place to start. When that isn’t enough I give my son unsweetened applesauce and it works fairly quickly.
