I know, it's such a relief when they poop, isn't it?! DD pooped yesterday after 48 hours of constipation and I swear everyone in the whole family celebrated! Incidentally, that was also after some diluted apple juice.....that stuff seems to be kind of miraculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1149276 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:01:44 +0000 Adira 1149276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HE POOPED!!!!!!</p> <p>And it was a disaster! As soon as I got his diaper off, he got both his hands in it and then got it all over himself! GROSS!!!!!! But at least it's out!!! :)</p> <p>I'm not sure exactly what did it, but he's had about 3 oz of apple juice mixed with water (so maybe about 1/3 oz apple juice), 2.5 oz pears, and I did a baby massage on his tummy/colon area. I did the massage and then fed him the pears and as SOON as he was done eating, he went! YAY!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1149070 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:52:36 +0000 QueensBee 1149070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwe, I'm crossing my fingers that Xander has a good poop today! </p> <p>Ahh, motherhood.

I just hope he's able to go soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1148976 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:21:54 +0000 Smurfette 1148976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Did you try prunes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1148973 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:20:34 +0000 butterbean 1148973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: fingers crossed for a poopy diaper!! there were times where i actually looked forward to a dirty diaper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1148971 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:20:16 +0000 ALV91711 1148971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Has he been cranky because of it?

They worked wonders. Pears don't seem to work so well for him. </p> <p>I wouldn't worry about having done apples last night and doing something new tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147775 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:21:04 +0000 Purpledaisy 1147775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've recently had the same problem with my 7 month old. I mixed in some prune puree with her oatmeal and it seemed to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147759 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:02:55 +0000 BoogieBea 1147759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter suffered from constipation at that age as well. We stayed away from constipating foods for a long time until her constipation subsided. Fruits that start with P helped, but kiwis worked best for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147756 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:01:42 +0000 Adira 1147756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Oh dear, now I'm nervous!! But he's not a solid solid eating (haha) - he's actually only had two meals in the past four days, so he's had MOSTLY BM. I'm hoping that means he's not TOO backed up.</p> <p>It's crazy how as parents we can get excited for our babies to poop, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147755 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:00:01 +0000 heartonastring 1147755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was recently constipated for SIX days. Prunes, pears, water and probiotic drops made all the difference. Also, a lot of digestive massage (clockwise on the belly from their right to left). She was a little backed up again for the past few days, so today I mixed some apple juice with her water and it worked almost too well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147750 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:54:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1147750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think pears and prunes are low allergy foods. You would know that it was either the apple or the prune. It's not like you'll be giving him a clam stuffed with egg white and peanut butter.<br /> Four days is a long time for a solid eater. L has trouble if she goes two days without pooping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147749 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:54:45 +0000 Dandelion 1147749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apples are good for getting things moving. You can water down some apple juice, too.</p> <p>If you give him prune juice and there's a reaction, you can eliminate one of the two foods and see which one gave it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147742 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:48:55 +0000 Adira 1147742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Should I be concerned about allergies at all? We JUST introduced apples to him last night, so if I give him something new (pears, prunes, etc) and he has an allergic reaction, I won't know what it's to, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147740 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:46:30 +0000 wheres_c 1147740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>prune juice mixed with water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147739 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:44:49 +0000 AprilFool 1147739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently had this issue and I fed her pears for tea and stopped with the brat foods. I also gave her her gas drops to get things moving. I had bought some prunes and they were the next step but she went before I had to use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147728 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:31:15 +0000 Adira 1147728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I do make sure he drinks water while eating solids. He usually has about 2 oz of water with 3-4 oz of solids... do you think that's enough water to help? I'm actually not sure if he's constipated or not... he just hasn't gone recently, so I'm not sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147719 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:19:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1147719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prunes, water, pears. Get him pooping!<br /> Liv had (and still has) trouble with any of the BRAT foods. She will cry when trying to poop if she's at all constipated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7mo-constipated#post-1147713 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:15:16 +0000 Adira 1147713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm not sure, but I think Xander might be constipated. He hasn't pooped in 4 days and sometimes will randomly cry and I'm not sure why (he also could be teething). Lately, for solids he's eaten cereal, carrots, and apples, all of which I think can cause constipation. I wasn't sure if I should hold off feeding him anymore constipating solids until he's had a bowel movement? Or are there any other suggestions? </p>
