I literally put three drops on his food and he clears out. It's amazing. I only use it on occasion when I feel like he's backed up, but have had great success. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1495532 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 23:35:30 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1495532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone!!!

Prunes are the number one helper for us, along with more water. I can't limit the dairy or fats too much because weight gain is an issue, but I try to add as much fruit and fiber as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1495107 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:47:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1495107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wrote a post about it here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/05/22/treating-constipation-with-dietary-changes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/05/22/treating-constipation-with-dietary-changes/</a></p> <p>lots of ideas on what you can do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1495057 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:19:19 +0000 winniebee 1495057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons of water. Berries and leafy greens are good and I would cut back on carbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1495052 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:17:04 +0000 Silva 1495052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he drinking enough water? If you've recently cut down his breastmilk supply, maybe part of the problem is he isn't getting enough fluids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1494982 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:43:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1494982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks. I'll try adding fruit and less dairy. Maybe i will sub his milk for almond milk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1494949 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:20:44 +0000 Smurfette 1494949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would cut back on dairy and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1494893 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:47:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1494893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of those foods cause constipation. I'd add some berries, seeds, leafy greens, whole fibers, etc. to help him nice things along. Try offering more water throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1494877 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:38:06 +0000 sandy 1494877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know every kid is different but my LO has fruit at every meal. If she doesn't finish her fruit I put it in a Tupperware and she can have it as a snack. So at least three times a day she is eating some kind of fruit. She is very regular and we've never had constipation problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constant-constipation-help#post-1494857 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:28:36 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1494857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time my 18 month old has to poop he gets a pained look on his face and fusses through it. He tends to have pretty big and very hard solid poops. This has been going on since I day weaned him. He usually poops every two days but sometimes daily. I'm wondering what if anything might help him. He eats a lot of yogurt, noodles, quinoa, bread and apples. I was thinking of adding some prunes to his lunch. Any suggestions??? </p>
