  I never had much luck with the prune juice.  My pedi told me to dilute it with water and I don't think she drank enough for it to make a difference.  I have given her a jar of stage 1 prunes and in 4 hours she had a massive blowout.

  yep avoid BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast). have you also tried giving 2oz of water and 2oz of apple juice during the day?: that should also help.

  good luck

  I read an ounce for every month the child is (this was when she was four months) - I have given her 2- 4 ounces and within a few hours its helped - I've given her 2-4 ounces for days and had no blow outs as well

  Warm baths.. pears, prunes, peas, pumpkin, peaches and I've heard a lot of people have good luck with blueberries.

  Honestly?  We got approved and started using miralax

  I haven't had anything work.  Fruit juice, water, oils, stool softeners.  Nothing has helped.

  Nothing works for us and los poops aregetting harder and harder. I was told to stay away from solids that constipate, but that would be every last one. I am calling pedi next week for miralax
