PIP and a question about prune juice and pooping

D had 2 oz of gerber prune juice this morning and about 2-3 oz of diluted apple juice last night. When can I expect him to poop? (a ballpark figure)

Re: PIP and a question about prune juice and pooping

  • Whoa thats a lot of juice!  I would say any second.. and its not going to be pretty.

    We gave our daughter 1oz of prune juice/day in a 4oz bottle of formula.. and she usually had her massive explosion within 3-4 hours.

  • He had it around 6am, it's 8:30.

    Please please please poop today, D.

    And Rease, I apologize in advance.

    Dude, make sure he's in dark clothes because the crap she had yesterday... I think she passed one of the horsemen of the Apocalypse.  It was insane.

  • how much and how often do you give prunes? i am thinking about giving my lo a bit each day to try to keep him a bit more regular. right now he is pooping every other day or so and they are massive explosions! we have had to toss a couple of onesies in the last 4 days! i was thinking maybe it would help him to have maybe one smaller one a day.
  • That's A LOT of juice! lol Our pedi recommended to do it (1oz juice to 1oz water) in the afternoon in order for something to happen before bedtime...so it should happen soon.
  • The first time Mady didn't poop I gave her 3 ozs of undiluted pear juice. She went 4 hours later.
  • Thanks for the advice, hopefully he poops today. I know he's in pain.
  • When DD needs to and hasn't for a few days I give her an oz of undiluted apple prune juice in the evening and she usually goes the next morning. But I was so proud- she pooped all on her own yesterday!  yay!  I never thought someone else's poop would make me so happy or that I would worry about it so much.

    Love the pic, btw- he's so precious!
