Poor guy - constipation and prune juice question

***Alert: lurker with a TMI introduction***

Poor DS hasn't pooped since Wednesday and is SO unhappy. Squirmy, grunting, small poo "pellets." The only solids he's had since then are stage-1 prunes, 1 jar per day. I'm going to give him prune juice (I read that hydration may help), but can't find the "dosage." Has anyone had to give their LO prune juice? I know you mix it with water (nursery water? He's BF, so I haven't mixed formula), but what is the ratio? He will be six months old in just over a week.

 Thanks, ladies!

    how old is your LO? I gave DS2 2 oz of prune juice and 2 oz of water mixed, just half and half. Also Karo Syrup...our pedi said use dark Karo Syrup but the clear one works way better!!!! Also our pedi told us Apple Juice can also help move things along while apple sauce can stop it. I don't understand how that works but maybe if the prune juice isn't working try Karo Syrup or Apple Juice.
