DD has been constipated and straining to pass harder than normal stools. I called the dr office today and the nurse called me back and recommended that I try giving her prune juice or apricot nectar. We picked up some apricot nectar but it is so thick dd does not seem to be able to get it out of the bottle. She is only five months so I'm not sure if I should try a sippy cup or what. The office was closed by the time we got it to try so any advice would be great...I'm feeling like a dumb first time mom!
Re: Juice for constipation
He didn't have an issue until older, but maybe you could try watering the juice down a little to get it to work in a bottle? If not that, maybe a spoon? It would be good to identify the cause of constipation too. Is your LO getting anything with lots of iron (formula, vitamin drops, cereal, etc)? Good luck!!
Now we are playing with solids and going every.single.day again
Good luck.
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
