Diluted prune juice for constipation?

LSquared3960

We recently switched DS to Enfamil AR because he was choking on breast milk and regular formula. Since switching he's stopped choking, but now he's really struggling to poop. He writhes and grunts and cries until he finally poops a little, and his poop is much harder than before. I called his pedi and they recommended an ounce of diluted prune juice to loosen things up. Has anyone tried this? He seems way too young to have anything other than BM or formula...

I would think a little would be fine if your pedi ok'd it. I put Caro syrup in ds2's bottles when he was ff. That was 5 yrs ago so that may have changed by now.

I think DD was about 3 or 4 months when we had to do this. We bought the Gerber apple prune juice in small bottles. We would dilute it with water. It may seem young but it helped.

my LO was constipated when we were in the hospital and they ended up having to give her a supository, and told me to give her an once of Gerber pear juice. I ran this by her pediatrician and he agreed that it should do the trick. But only an once a day. Hope this helps
