Juice for constipation

cindeegal

So I had planned to not give DD any juice for the time being, just water and formula. However, she has been having some major constipation issues (poor baby!)  and I'm desperate to help her. I'm thinking of adding a bit of apple juice to her water sippy. Any advice as to how much would be enough without overdoing it? TIA.

I have had to do this before. I usually mix 2 oz juice with 2 oz water and it seems to work. I found that prune juice works better than apple. GL!

I do apple prune or pear juice. I pour about an oz of juice, then 2-3oz of water.

if you don't want to give juice, pureed fruits do the same thing and are better for your LO. Any fruit starting with a P will act as a diuretic and help your lo poop (peaches, prunes, pineapple, pear..) 

Applesauce works too!

We usually just add 2oz of juice to whatever they're drinking.

I give her pureed apples or pears with oatmeal every single morning. She also eats the pureed sweet potatoes & apples combo jar at least once a day, if not twice. I have given her prunes before but not in awhile. I'll try that too. Thanks for everyone's help!

For Keira pureed prunes works every time!  Good luck!
