pear juice

Kd&J

I know some of you do this but I cant find the old posts...

I add rice cereal to my daughters formula for reflux and because she chokes on regular formula. Unfortuately it constipates her. I was told to give her either pear or prune juice to get things moving. Anyone know how much is okay for an infant? Do I add it to her formula or just plain in a bottle?

Ask your pedi first, but what I was told was 1:1. We give 20mils water, 20 mils prune juice which is a little more than an ounce total. It usually works within 30 minutes.

I mix with formula and do equal parts also.

We just put a tablespoon of pear juice in 4 ounces of formula and that does the trick. ?We found prune juice cause stomach cramps because it is harder to digest than pear juice. ?Good Luck
