Apple juice for constipation?

Question

My son is 3 1/2 months old and has not pooped in 3 days. He is super gassy and uncomfortable all day and is constantly straining to poop. I’ve been using gas drops and using the windi on him and nothing seems to be working. Is it safe for me to give him apple juice to try and relieve his pain?

Answer

I’ve heard that it is safe, although I’m not sure I would do it personally. But it’s so hard seeing our babies in pain. I’d definitely do some research, but I have heard it’s okay! 😊

Answer

We used mommy’s bliss constipation medicine because my baby was having solid poops and it helped!

Answer

My babe is 15 weeks old and EBF and she is on day 13 of no poop 😫😫😫 I’ve read everywhere it’s pretty normal, but I just feel bad and wish she could just go! We’ve tried EVERYTHING as well, Dr said prune juice/water and she refuses it in bottle so tried it with syringes and still not really working :/ Think we may just make appt and see if they’ll do suppository if it doesn’t happen soon! #prayforpoop

Answer

Girl, I could have written this myself. My little one is a little over 3 months and the same thing. She looked to be in so much pain so I took her into the doctor today. She checked inside her rectal to make sure she didn’t feel hard stools blocking as I guess that’s true constipation. That said, she told us to give 1 to 2 oz of 100% pure prune juice mixed in her bottle . She pooped for the first time today in 4 days and is a different baby! 
Good luck

Answer

My pediatrician said to mix 2 ounces of apple juice to 2 ounces of formula/breast milk..my baby poops about 2/3 hours after of giving it.

Answer

My ped said mix an ounce of water with one bottle once a day until things go back to normal!

Answer

Dark Karo syrup works wonders...my now 18 week old had/has the same issue and Karo syrup has been my life saver I swear by it. But beware there will be often blowouts but I don’t mind as long as my baby moves his bowels.

Answer

Yes one ounce of apple juice!

Answer

My pediatrician recommended prune , apple or pear . She said told me to start with half oz juice with half oz of water . It def helps .

Answer

My girl is 16 weeks and my pediatrician’s nurse line advised giving her 1.5 oz twice a day. I started yesterday and as of today still nothing. I hate seeing her so backed up :/ Hopefully tomorrow or I’ve gotta call back Friday!
