Yikes Constipated Baby! Help

rinaealy

So, my DD is 10 months and I noticed for the past three days she has been having a hard time pooping. Yesterday, she finally went however DH and I had to help her because she had one stuck in her rectum yeah it was horrible. Yesterday, I started giving her pear juice and she does drink water. Today, I gave her apple sauce for breakfast and then I noticed her having a hard time pooping again.

 My question is, how long before the pear juice, apples and prunes begin to kick it in?

Avoid apples, they cause constipation.  You give apples to help with diarrhea.  Stick with pears and prunes.

Apple juice is good for constipation, but not applesauce.  https://www.livestrong.com/article/475431-does-apple-juice-relieve-constipation/

I buy the happy baby pear pouches for my LO for when she has a hard time, and by the next day she is good to go.
