Can I "start" pears and applejuice on the same day?

LO is very constipated and I want to give her a little applejuice to help her out. I also was planning to start pears next so she has that in her diet to help with constipation. I dont really have to wait 3 days in between pears and apple juice just because they are both brand new to her, do I?

There is no history of allergies in my family and she has tolerated everything else fine until now.

Also- do you buy the Graduates Juice that is mixed with water already? Or do you use straight applejuice for constipation?

    I have heard straight apple juice can be too acidic for some babies. If it were me, I would do pear juice.

    But you probably can. I did 4 oz juice and 4 oz water in a sippy and only let him drink half. Or you can put a little juice in with the bottle of milk.

    You can buy pear juice? I had no idea!

    I wouldn't either, just to be on the safe side in the event a reaction happen you could tell what caused it.  Plus, I've heard of quite a few people having trouble with apple juice themselves even though they're not allergic to apples.  Growing up a friend swore she was "allergic" (she really means sensitive too, there's a difference) apple juice even though she could eat whole apples and applesauce just fine. 

    My older son broke out in a rash every time we tried to feed him canned peaches but he could eat fresh peaches fine.  Turns out there are people who can't tolerate canned peaches for some reason and he's one of them.

    Here's some good info about food allergies and intolerance/sensitivity:
