Constipation?

Question

Anyone else have an easily constipated little? We’ve upped her water intake, she’s still breastfed with only one-2 meals of solids a day and a warm bath at night. Now adding in apple-prune juice to her water. Any tips and tricks?

Answer

Giving a probiotic helps too!

Answer

My pediatrician recommended flax oil. I mix it into her breakfast. That’s really helped my baby! That and a serving of prunes a few times a week. 😂 That is a SURE way to get her bowels moving.

Answer

My baby is prone to constipation from being on Soy formula 
I have found pear purée to work very quick and easier for baby to accept the taste than prune juice 
It’s very tough on our poor babies, hope this helps xx

Answer

Pea purée has been working wonders for us

Answer

A few tablespoons of avocado per day seems to help my baby. Contains fiber

Answer

I don’t have a remedy really but me tooooooo. I feel awful. She went a whole week without pooping. Then she pooped everyday or every other for a week and now went 5 days without poop and then had what looked like a miniature adult poop log in her diaper! We switched her fruits and veggies to ones known to help with pooping. And give mommy’s bliss constipation ease if it’s been 4 days (that really works). 
I think a big problem might be she won’t take a cup yet so she is only on breastmilk, no water. And it has been very humid here.

Answer

Give high fiber foods. Limit constipating foods

Answer

I have been struggling ever since my sons dad and gf decided that when he has not had more than a couple tsp of solids to feed him entire jar of BANANAS 🤦🏼‍♀️ it’s been an issue for a few weeks now. I have only been doing easy to digest foods, limit his intake to 2-3tbs, and include a “p” fruit at least once a day, add a tap of coconut oil, and add a sprinkle of flax seed to his foods, 1-2oz water at each meal, etc. but he’s still backed up. So I finally called the doctor today and she said to try stool softener and then ease back into foods and tell his dad no bananas (they fed him MORE banana the day I told them he had a really hard time pooping after) , I’m hoping it helps. I feel so bad for him. Never had this issue with my first.

Answer

Adding in puréed pears seems to help my baby, every few days. He doesn’t get truly constipated, just very hard poops (sorry tmi) and it seems to soften it. My doctor said if he’s truly constipated, give him 2 oz of pure prune or pear juice, and not to dilute it with water. Hope that can help!
