How much prune juice for constipation?

DevonPowDevonPow member

This is our first time dealing with this - poor DS started crying this morning when he poops and they are hard as rocks :(  Anyway, I bought some prune juice - how much should I give him? He has never had juice before, so I don't want to overload him, but I want it to work (and hopefully work before his nap?)

Any other suggestions?

    I mix about an inch or so with water to start. If that doesnt work, I give it to her straight.  DD has severe constipation problems, so we use miralax almost every day to soften.

    actually PlumSmart juice would taste better! I use this with Michelle....2-4oz mixed with equal parts water a day to keep her regular.

    I would give him 2oz of straight prune juice every 2-3 hours the first day and then mixed it with equal parts water after that.
