Constipated five month old

Any remedies for a constipated five month old?

Re: Constipated five month old

  • Prune Juice or pear juice diluted with water! Works every time for us!?

  • If your baby is on solids feed them pears,prunes and peaches.

    Rubbing DD's tummy works sometimes.

    A long warm baby bath with epsom salts (20 minutes or so) works really well.

    If it's due to solid food don't forget that baby needs more liquids now that they are on solids. Diluted juice or water is best.

  • Not sure if you BF, but if so you can drink some apple juice and this should get things moving down there for your LO.

    Cool! Didn't know that!
  • is your baby having trouble pooping or has it just been a long time since the last poop? my daughter routinely goes 7-10 days between poops and is not constipated at all.
