using pear juice for constipation, question
Claire is still having problems so I called her Dr. yesterday and they recommended pear juice, 1 oz every day for about a week and see how she does. My question is, if she gets back to normal do I discontinue or keep giving it to her now? Also, how long until she actually gets a dirty diaper? I gave some to her last night then this morning, only a few small hard poops. I feel like an idiot!

Re: using pear juice for constipation, question
If the problem persists, then I would continue the juice in small amounts daily. If she goes back to normal, then I would discontinue the juice unless and until it happens again.
If she is formula fed, I would mix the juice in with her formula (in lieu of the water). I did this with DS so that he wouldn't get too used to the taste of the yummy juice and start refusing formula.
I would not feel like an idiot. It is very stressful to have a little one with issues like that. You being a great mom and doing everything you can to make her feel better.
Ellarie had pooping problems and we had to give her juice very early on, at least once a day. Max has never had any problems (kid poops like 4 times a day) and has never had juice. I didn't do anything different and we used the same formula for both. Just goes to show every kid is different.
