How much water/juice?

DS is EBFed and eats 3 stage 1 fruits/veggies a day 1 mixed with oatmeal but is pretty constipated. Dr recommended more juice watered down, just few oz a day. He only drinks maybe 1 or 2 oz of it cause he's just not into it. How much is yours drinking?

about 3-4 oz/day of h20

I hope you mean prune juice? Other juices won't help the constipation and are full of unnecessary sugars. You can also try actual prunes pureed into her meals, just start small so you don't have a huge explosion on your hands.

DD doesn't have constipation issues so she doesn't get juice. She drinks water when she feels like it at her solids meals, less than 3oz a day, I'm sure. I don't push her to drink, she's plenty hydrated from nursing.

I have been giving LO a small sippy cup half way full of juice/water. I do half juice and half water into the half of that sippy cup. He never drinks it all, but he loves holding the cup, so I let him have more than he will drink so that he will think he is holding it with juice in it. He will pitch a fit if nothing is in there...

  we just give her a sippy cup full of water but she usually only drinks about 2-3 oz a day.

I would guess less than an ounce. He's still breastfeeding lots, though, and hasn't had any problems with constipation.

I make Liam oatmeal with a little pear juice, it's worked wonders for us. Hope that helps!

I usually do 1oz juice (usually apple) with 4oz water.

I was always told by my Dr. that pear juice was the way to go for constipation. I've never had to use it, so good luck!
