Constipation - prune juice

JennyLbride

My daughter has been constipated since Sunday...she has only very small firm bm's.  So I called the dr today and she said to try prune juice.  1/2 oz prune juice to 1 oz water.  Anyone else try this?  How often did you do it?  Did you stop once she started going again? How long did it take to work?  She is miserable.  Poor little girl

My pedi said to use apple-prune.  1oz juice to 1oz water.  The first time I used it, it worked fairly quickly, within the hour I think.  I had to do it again this morning and by afternoon she still hadn't gone.  I tried the thermometer trick and that worked for us.

GL!  I hate seeing them so miserable!

DD has been dealing with constipation since birth...she gets 1-2 oz of prunes once a day, I just add it to her milk and she could care less. We've been doing this since about 6 months. The dr is unsure how long we'll have to continue.
