constipation and juice??

kari0426

DS has been having some issues with constipation and hard stool for the past few days.  The pedi told me to give him prune juice or white grape juice.(2-4 oz/day).  Problem is that he hates the juice!  Have any of you ever tried mixing your juice in with fruit or veggies at meal time?  Thought I might disguise it that way?  Thanks!

You can try pureeing some prunes or plums to get things going instead of doing the juice. I've also heard of people mixing the juice with water so it's not all juice he's getting.

You can try that.

I usually just dilute apple juice with water and it works like a charm.  GL!

Thanks!  What ratios do you use?

My pedi reccomended just an oz or two of water and this worked just great and DD loved it!

I mixed pureed prunes with DD's milk she loved it.

I use pear or apple juice and mix it with a little water

This is what we do, too. Works like a charm.
