Constipation!

My 8mo girl hasn’t pooped in like 4 days. She just started really liking solids but we are still breastfeeding majority of the time. Yesterday I have her green beans, brussel sprouts and two prunes along with a bit of water. Still no poop! She doesn’t seem uncomfortable but I’m wondering when I should worry.

My son had reallllyyyy bad constipation at this age and with the introduction of solids. Dr first recommended prune juice, but he hated it. The dr then recommended Miralax… 1/3 of the cap with fluid (I mixed it in his morning formula), then up to 1/2 cap. He did this for a number of months. It worked a treat! Good luck… he really struggled with it for a while.

@Kelley ah thanks! Luckily she’s into the prunes! How many ounces of formula did you mix miralax with?

Try giving apples/pears (eg grated in porridge), prunes! Avoid sweet potato and banana until she poops :)

definitely try prune juice diluted with water! it worked like a charm for my little one!

Try blueberries. Works really well! And probiotic yogurt

U can try fennel seeds. 1- boil water 2- add fennel to boiling water 3- let it steep for 10 mins 4- strain the seeds out and have the baby drink it. My baby is also 8 months

Oh Lula! Yes if you could warm the prune juice and give it to her and ohhh belly massages . About an inch above the belly and go gently in circulation motions clockwise . If you feel it’s firm to touch or hard that probably is where there’s poop stuck . Be gentle though and it works like a charm for my toddler .

Make sure your LO is also drinking water

Thanks guys, we finally got a poop! 🕺🏻
