Constipation

Hi moms!
My 9 month old is constipated. Any recommendations? I gave my LO prune juice this afternoon and it seemed to help a bit. Just hate seeing her in so much pain. Thanks!

  • Pediatrician told us to give LO a daily Probiotic. It's called Gerber Soothe Colic Drops. Apparently it works wonders for constipation.
    We just started it today.

  • If it gets too bad, my doc advised a glycerin suppository.  The make a special liquid kind just for infants.
  • Thanks ladies! Gave her a few oz of prune juice and it did the trick.
  • I feed DS pears everyday to avoid constipation, and I avoid feeding him bananas if he's having trouble.
