Constipation...prunes?

DD started with vegetables about 2 weeks ago. She's not going close to a week without pooping. Has anyone given prunes to help this? I'm thinking I might try them today.

    When this happened with my older son around the same age my doctor recommended a little bit of apple juice (an ounce or two) to start, as it is milder than prunes, then to move onto prunes if necessary. Also "p" foods are great for constipation, so pears, sweet potatoes, peaches, etcetera...

    Prunes worked well for my LO, and he liked the taste of them :)

    Pears and apples work well for my LO. I have also given prunes, but I only gave a couple small spoonfuls as to not overdo it.

    We have been putting about 10 ml of prune juice in each of our LO's bottles and it works like a charm, even with starting solids.

    Thanks everyone. She ended up going right before I was going to try to give her something. That was a big mess!
