DD never had pooping issues but the last couple of weeks she essentially stopped and went a week, had a massive poo and then repeat. She was in a lot of pain and very cranky. Our pedi told us to start giving her 2 - 3 oz of straight juice once a day till she became regular and then to wean her off of that. It sounded like a ton of juice to me but no matter what we try we can't get more than 1/2 - 1 oz in her and she fights in the whole way. It is like she can't swallow the juice and she coughs, chokes, spits up, etc. So frustrating. For anyone who uses juice, do you give it straight, mix in in with already prepared formula or use it in place of some of the water when mixing the formula. Our doc said it was best to give alone but after tonight (2 outfits for DD and 2 for me) I am ready to try something else.
Thanks!
