Juice for constipation?

Jen&LenJen&Len
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Sorry, I know this has been asked a million times, but the search function isn't working for me.

I think DS is constipated from starting rice cereal.  How much juice should I try to de-clog him?  I feel so bad, he woke up several times during the night crying.

    my pedi said 1/2 oz prune & 1/2 oz water should do the trick, but i know alot of people prefer other juices. i think the rectal therm. or (for severe constipaion) pedi lax work the best. good luck

    Pear juice worked great for DD. I would start with the rectal therm and rubbing his tummy in a clockwise motion first.

    our pedi said 2 ounces of apple or pear juice mixed with BM (I BF) which we could do up to 2 times a day.  No prune juice until at least 4 months old
