bliss - re: juice for constipation

was your ds using a sippy by the time you were trying this? i've let v play with her sippy with just water but she mostly just chews on it..not sure if she'd be more interested with the diluted pear juice... would you put it in a bottle if they weren't sippy-adept yet? something about juice in a bottle is bugging me, though i'm not sure why

I never had to give DD juice for constipation we up her fruit and I cut back on how often I gave her solids for awhile. (DH has an allergy to stone fruit so we didn't want to give these juices until after a year) We found kiwi and strawberry helped move things along.

However because you can give juice I would do that. I think try the sippy first she might like it with the juice. If that doesn't work put it in her bottle but I would only give it to her when she is sitting up eating solids. If you have to give the bottle keep working with the sippy.

Good Luck

I put juice in a bottle like once for declan. Never caused any problems. He only had bm in the bottle other than that.

You could always do a medicine syringe or dropper.

I like doing juice for constipation if it's really bugging him because it works quickly.

We actually had to give juice for severe constipation early (I think he was 8 weeks), so it was in a bottle. We diluted 50% and it worked really fast. Other than a few times we were battling constipation, he didn't have juice again until he was consistently using a cup.

When he got older, though, and was eating solids, I found the applesauce worked much better and faster for constipation than juice did.
