starting cereal and constipation

we started DD on rice cereal on Monday...and he hasn't pooped since Monday afternoon.  I have a call in to the pedi...but just wondering what ya'll have done.  Is it too early for prune juice or is a glycerine supposetory ok??? what to do....

Re: starting cereal and constipation

  • We didn't do rice cereals we did oatmeal and my dd was constipated. We switch to barley, our pedi recommended to give her 1/2 -1 oz of juice (prune, pear, apple) mix with bm/formula to help the constipation.

  • we have to give ds cereal bc of his reflux and sometimes we have to give him apple juice mixed with water. i've also found that if we give him the mixed grain cereal it's not as harsh on his little tummy.

  • OMG!! Poor baby! She must be feeling awful! 

  • ...and surprisingly i don't think she felt awful...she seemed fine.  But we finally pooped today!! yeah!!!
