anything I can do for constipation??

I don't know if it is because we have traveled a lot recently, but poor B is constipated. He is 5.5 mos old and still EBF- we have not started solids. When I say constipation I mean it is 4 days+ between poops, which can be normal, but when he goes it is thicker and lumpy with some solid pellets & lumps mixed throughout.
Anyway- this is new and I was wondering if it could be a dietary thing on my part? or if travel could do it? and if anyone has suggestions besides the 1oz juice with 1oz water trick.
thanks!

Re: anything I can do for constipation??
i don't have any other rec's besides 1-2oz diluted prune juice. but my DS regularly goes 11+ days without pooping (EBF). pedi isn't concerned as long as he is comfortable and not sick/vomiting. pedi did rec the juice once it's been 5-6 days and i do that. i give the juice in the evening and usually he poops by morning.
i would call your pedi and see what they have to say...
