Along with prunes and pears, peaches work well too!

After LO started eating baby foods & was having random times where he would get constipated, I decided to have a stash... I know this isn't for at home, but after I had to wait for hours, I decided to go & buy a whole bunch!

Prunes & pears (I usually buy a few packs of them each everytime I go shopping). Apple juice. We usually don't get him juice unless it's lunch time so that he can hold his sippy cup & not get bored and catch something better & fuss throughout his feedings.

We've been dealing with the same thing, so I'm interested in answers. I've tried peaches and pears and not much has helped. I've read somewhere that a little warm water and a bulb syringe works like a charm. I figured we'd try everything else before we do that!

Usually apple or white grape juice works for us, but recently we had to pull out the prunes.

we bought some children's suppositories and coated it in vaseline...we'll see! 

i also tried prunes but he didn't eat much of it...just had finished dinner when DH came home with some so was full so i'll try tomorrow.

thanks for the tips!

prunes always work for us but the dr also told us to add a teaspoon of karo syrup to his bottle and that worked like a charm!

I use a supository when the constipation get bad. I use Pedilax and it works right away.
