constipation saga continued

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
So i was here during the week ab dd being constipated.

I tried some diluted prune juice, had a little bit and nothing since i believe Wednesday.

The drs appt she had thursday was canceled, and the receptionist at dds pedi is being a rude biatch ab everuthing. If this continues im going to look for a new pedi. Apparently her dr has no openings for sick calls even and i was told to call the nursing hotline.

If she doesnt poop by tonight im going to take her in. I tried pureed prunes last night and still nothing. Ugh.

    We were told to use diluted apple juice (1/2 oz. of juice with 1/2 oz. of water). It always works for us. Oh, and our pediatrician told us that up to four days with no dirty diaper is normal.

    I may try this. My pedi said the same thing ab 4days, but she sits there grunting and trying to poop, and when she does go in the past few wks its been hard little balls so im worried.

    Make a blueberry puree and add it into your oatmeals/cereals and do it on it's own for lunch.  My son was straining to go and the blueberries cleared him right out.

    I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Don't feed any of the BRAT diet while your LO is constipated.

     Banana, Rice, Apple, and Toast - These foods are recommended for diarrhea.

    P foods for constipation. Peas, Pears, Prunes, and Peaches. These always work for us.

    We struggled for weeks and weeks.. I finally asked the Ped and was told I could use miralax  - up to a teaspoon a day - it softens doesn't stimulate.  So we use it when she hasnt' gone for a few days and we are back on track!

    This. I had to get medication for my son because he would cry every time he pooped. This went on for 2 months!! It was awful. But try pear juice. I just heard it works really well--better than just pear baby food. Good luck!

    You probably already solved this issue since your post was from a couple of days ago... but when my son first started solid foods, he also had constipation issues. 

    In addition to all of the pp's suggestions, if all else fails, you can use this it works like a charm.

    My little guy has been having trouble since starting solids too. I soak a prune in water and then just give him the water, which seems to work much better than the prunes themselves for some reason. My neighbour said raspberries really help too, but I haven't tried that yet.
