Giving baby sugar for constipation...

Have you ever heard of that? My mother in law suggested we give Chris sugar if he ever gets constipated...she swears by this!! However I refuse to give him sugar at this age. Not to mention we've planned on introducing DILUTED juice after he's a year old.

Have any of you heard of this remedy? Just curious.

  • Mixing it in with their formula/breastmilk.

  • yep, like PP its OWT. i would probably not even be able to smile and nod at that one.. i would crack up. depending on how long your baby has been constipated for, and remembering the older they get (especially after introducing solids) multiple days without a bowel movement is ok. our ped said the 4-5 day mark is when you can do action. he recommended giving an oz or 2 of diluted juice. it worked for us.

  • Nope, never heard that one; we didn't have constipation problems with DS and haven't had them with DD but everyone I know either used diluited pear or prune juice or baby specific glicerine enemas
