Constipation again...juice related

Hilaboo86

Paging @lizabethann06‌ and all other hard poo mamas. (Haha)

E had another bought of constipation this morning and passed a golf ball sized poo of course hard. It was so sad to see her cry.

This question is about juice. I've been giving her gerber prune apple. I've read to do straight prune but I can't find gerber. Is there another brand that you all use? Would you just use the regular brands? Like adult brands?

TIA. y'all rock btw. Happy Easter!!

Edit: forgot to mention I do all the pears, prunes, water, juice all the constipation things. Mommy brain fart

My pediatrician suggests half water half prune juice (about 1 oz total) twice a day until poops are normal. Also, warm up the juice like you would formula/milk. We've used regular juice.

Prune purée has worked wonders for us as well as pear purée.
I haven't gone the juice route yet but we have a guy with a wild bowel routine.

I use the same one and bought it on Amazon...I think it was cheaper but also got them at Babies R Us and local grocery store ( Harris Teeter)

Pear juice can also help - we have done Goya pear nectar.

We give LO 1oz of pureed prunes every night.  She poops like a dream    We use Gerber Organic prunes.  I've found them at multiple different grocery stores and on Amazon.

We use puréed prunes and pears, no juice.

I gave DD a little of white grape juice mixed with water and she has been having soft poops since. I bought an adult brand with no added sugar.

With DD we used regular prune juice. We didn't water it down at all.

yup, that's what we do.

I agree with PPs, we do prune puree. She gets 1 container a day (2oz?) after dinner. It's her dessert

Yay for prune juice! (The regular adult type brand) We have been going all day here! Just wanted to let you ladies know incase you end up needing constipation advice!

As soon as we switched to oatmeal instead of rice cereal we no longer have hard poops. We actually have blow outs again recently.... Which isn't fun either, but at least he's not the one crying.

We did too for about a month after making the switch but it came back! Ugh. Fx your LO stays nice and regular unlike my hard poo princess. If he does try prune juice, that shit is still working. I'm ecstatic!
