Does a little tomato juice help upset stomach?

Question

My baby has been having stomach pain for a while and he hasn't had a bowel movement for 3 days.  Everyone is telling me to give him a little tomato juice from a row tomato. Online, everyone says  it is not good for the stomach. I don't know what to do. It is not nice to watch him in pain. Has anyone used it? And had some success?

Answer

I wouldn't give my baby anything but breastmilk / formula unless approved by a doctor. I definitely wouldn't give raw (unpasteurized) juice. I hope your LO feels better soon!!

Answer

My little boy just got over dehydration and LBM - sunk fontanelle, vomitting and runny green poop. Before this it was just days of stomach pain and no poop. I breastfeed exclusively. Doctor says it was a stomach bug, but nothing that breastmilk couldn't cure. We stuck through the fuss-filled nights and one morning his poop just returned to normal, and he went back to being a happy baby. 🙂
Sharing a photo of that morning just cause it was a super proud moment.. 😁

Answer

Prune juice works great!

Answer

Tomatoes are SUPER acidic and can really hurt their bellies ☹️ That’s awful advice someone gave you. If they’re having tummy troubles and you know it’s because of constipation, take your baby’s temperature rectally a couple of times. That’s what my doctor did. Or you can go buy one of those Windy tube things by Frida Baby. 
PLEASE do not give your baby anything other than breast milk/formula!

Answer

It wasn't 3 days, but when my LO was constipated and crying for over a day I just tried massaging her stomach and that seemed to help her go.
