So how common is constipation...

Just want to see how many of your LOs are or have been constipated at around 47 months and what you did that helped them. I have tried practically everything from prune juice to karo syrup, water, etc. i feel so helpless. My next step is a glycerin suppository, anyone try those? Also I saw that there is sumthin called baby moves that is a prune juice concentrate that you add to water. Anyone hear anything about that? I'm over calling my doc office and talking to a nurse and tell me the same things over and over that aren't working and that it's very common etc. so I'm looking for your experience on this! Thanks!

    Maybe try pear juice? I have heard that sometimes when prunes don't work pears might.

    SD's BM took her to the hospital for constipation when she was little and all they did was give her a glycerin suppository. It worked :]

    1 oz of prune juice added to a bottle every day is all that has helped us. One or two doses didn't help, but using it consistently does.

    We have done prune juice in bottles daily and nothing. I haven't tried pear juice but she is eating prune and pear pures. We have done rectal temps and sometimes it helps. I think the next step is a glycerine suppository. Thanks.

    I did the suppository and it worked immediately, however to prevent we always do a good dose of prunes/pears juice or puree.

    Prunes, the thermometer trick and a warm bath are what works here.
