What can I give LO for constipation?

Poor DD2 is struggling so hard to poop, that she cries. I feel so bad for her. I tried watered down juice but all I had was V8 fusion and that didn't work. I plan on picking up some apple juice and trying that. I also tried the thermometer trick and nothing. Anything else I can try???

    Pear juice or pear compote.  Pears make babies poop!

    pear, apple, or prune juice. LOTS of water. Also, take vaseline and rub it on the outside of her rectum, it stimulates them to poop and makes it easier to come out.

    Pureed prunes work best for T if he's already starting to get a little backed up. Pears work best to keep him regular in the first place. We've started just mixing in a little pear with most of his fruit & veggie purees & not only does he love the sweetness but he hasn't been constipated since!

    Also warm water & activity can help. So you could try prune or pear pur?e or juice, then a nice warm bath & then stand her up at an activity table. That has always worked for Tristan.

    Pear juice worked well for us when it got really bad.  Now she eats a pear a day and we haven't had an issue since.  I think the blueberries help too, the girl loves her blueberries!

    Slightly TMI ahead... Warning...

     

    If you see my posts from last night you can read about the battle I am having with Isaiah's poop... Sadly if they are that constipated, nothing will work if the poop is hard already and ready to come out. I had to "help" Isaiah with my pinky and vaseline as the Dr showed me. It sucks but he needs the help. You can also stimulate it with a glob of vaseline and a Q-tip, just insert a little and the vaseline helps lubricate so it's not too painful... make sure you keep adding vaseline to her lil butt so she doest get small cuts like Isaiah :(

    We also have to lower his dry food intake and focus more on juicy fruits and liquid diets like soups... I hope your LO feels better soon! I feel your pain! Good luck!

    Teaspoon or two of karo syrup in a formula/bm bottle did the trick for Liam.
