Haha. Thank you for all the advice ladies.

We switched to cows milk and the problem immediately stopped. I wonder if coconut water is different... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560913 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 17:40:41 +0000 macintosh 2560913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is constipated a lot so he gets prune juice daily per his ped.</p> <p>@nana87: if coconut water works I will love you forever! It's got up have less sugar than prune juice and it won't stain. I'll have to try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560857 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 16:12:23 +0000 swurlygurl 2560857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A heaping serving of blueberries and watermelon will push that right out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560809 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:47:35 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2560809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let her drink some warm water! I find that helps quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560769 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:08:02 +0000 jhd 2560769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gerber makes little bottles of apple and prune juice that we kept on hand when LO had trouble with constipation. Peaches and pears are good too. And PPs have good ideas too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560713 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:59:48 +0000 erinbaderin 2560713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a pouch with prunes in it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560710 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:57:46 +0000 brownepiano 2560710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves prunes, raisins, and granola- if you are worried those help keep him regular. He's gone a few days without pooping, but I usually up his dried fruit if it seems like it has been too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560696 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:41:56 +0000 Silva 2560696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry, but I'd push water and fruit (pears, prunes, etc). My daughter has gone a day or two without pooping and it can be harder or more painful when she goes. We explained that drinking water helps, and she just needs a reminder now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560668 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:15:44 +0000 Anagram 2560668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: give lots of fresh fruit--pears, oranges, blueberries. And there's also a natural baby constipation medicine by Mommy's bliss brand--it's basically a prune concentrate, but my LO won't drink prune juice, so giving her 5 ml concentrate from a medicine dropper is easier to get down. It takes a few doses to get things going, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560666 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:14:35 +0000 Jadj13 2560666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS loves bananas and sometimes insists on eating several daily! So it was no surprise when he would occasionally get constipated.<br /> We started giving him a few prunes with lunch/dinner and he loves them! Keeps him 'regular' :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560663 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:09:08 +0000 avivoca 2560663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make pancakes with flaxseed meal in it (about a tablespoon of the flaxseed to a thing of batter) and it produces a poop within about 12 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560657 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:07:01 +0000 nana87 2560657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is periodically constipated and she loves prunes, so we give her that sometimes. But recently, I randomly gave her a little coconut water and she LOVED it, and her poops were crazy afterwards! I had no idea it was a (natural) laxative, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560652 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:04:00 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2560652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry, but I would try to add some foods that will help. I mixed pureed prunes with applesauce and my daughter liked it. I have also had a lot of luck with mandarin oranges that come packaged in 100% fruit juice. We like the Dole brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipated-toddler-when-to-worry#post-2560564 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:39:42 +0000 Meowkers 2560564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 16 month old hasn't pooped in two days. She usually poops twice a day. At what point should I worry? And what can I give her to help her poop (natural). I was thinking some prune juice or pureed prunes but I'm honestly not sure she'll want to drink/eat that. </p>
