We tried prunes.... Without much success, and then we tried some whole grain oatmeal cereal (which has fiber) and that did the trick. He's been regular ever since. I only give him like 2tbsp. of the oatmeal. (Natures Best Organic) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949096 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 21:15:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 949096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: @coacheswife123: it was insane. We were on vacation and I had to go out and buy more diapers cause she pooped on everything I had. It wasn't diarrhea either totally normal poops. Poor thing was REALLY backed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949061 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:51:04 +0000 pinkb 949061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: omg 11 times! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949060 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:51:03 +0000 pl0508 949060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ohhhhhhh my word !!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949047 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:44:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 949047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prunes. LO was mega constipated after her first week of solids and the day after we gave her prunes she pooped 11 times. Worked like a charm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949043 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:42:34 +0000 pl0508 949043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: yesterday !!</p> <p>@pinkb: he LOVED the prunes !! I was surprised ! </p> <p>@hilsy85: thanks for the reassurance ! I hope they go back to normal ! Thankfully he does seem to feel just fine ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949012 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:24:53 +0000 hilsy85 949012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also just wanted to add that sometimes Los poops look constipated but he seems fine, and then it passes so if he doesn't seem uncomfortable or like he's straining, maybe don't stress too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949005 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:19:16 +0000 pinkb 949005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Prunes help our LO. Just gave them to her today :)<br /> Apple juice never worked for us but the prunes definitely help. Just depends how constipated she is as to how long it takes to take effect. LO is also starting to get use to water, but still doesnt drink enough for it to help just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-949003 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:17:09 +0000 SleepyMonkey 949003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: if he won't drink water/juice, try mixing it in with the purees. how many days has it been since he's had a good poop? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-948963 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:53:26 +0000 hilsy85 948963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: apples can actually increase constipation (don't know about the juice though..). Maybe try mixing some purée with breastmilk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-948958 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:51:54 +0000 pl0508 948958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I've tried apple juice (diluted!) - wont drink it. I gave him some prunes this morning hope that helps ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-948953 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:47:58 +0000 hilsy85 948953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you started solids yet? I so, pears r prunes are good. Or you can dilute a bit of pear/prune juice in that and give it to him in a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-2#post-948935 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:35:52 +0000 pl0508 948935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we may be dealing with some constipation. Today LO has had some pebble looking poops that are the consistency of play doh. He isn't straining and acts like he feels fine. </p> <p>Any advice ? I've tried giving him a little water and he won't drink it out of a sippy or bottle. I just want his little poops to be normal ! </p>
