Prune Juice
My ped called this morning and since Katie is constipated, now I have to give her 1 tsp. of prune juice in her bottle 2-3x per day.
Anyone have any experience with prune juice they could share with me?
(Also put her back on Zantac since she had a bad reaction to Axid.)

We tried water, it didn't work  It's so frustrating. I'm a little hesitant with the prune juice but she isn't pooping and I don't want to give her another suppository. Poor baby.

Re: Prune Juice
Poor thing I would only do it once today and see if it "produces" a result. Prune juice can cause explosions Good Luck

Re: Prune Juice
My doctor told us to try different things based on how bad the constipation was.
First-sugar water
Second (if sugar water didn't work) Watered down apple juice
Third-If neither worked, watered down prune juice.
I know a couple of nurses and they were shocked that I was advised to use juice though, and told me to just mix 1 tsp of corn syrup with his bottle 3-4 times a day. I also read this in Parenting magazine recently. This always worked for us.

Re: Prune Juice
We gave michael some prune juice way back when.
Sometimes it worked wonders - usually gave him a 1 ounce bottle.
sometimes it didn't work,
Once we had to give him a Suppository !!
well my husband had to do it bc I was to chicken,
this was several months ago, and ever since we havent had any issues
he is a poopie monster now!!
best of luck

Re: Prune Juice
Go with what your Dr said,( prune juice) my sister had to do that with my niece when she was a baby and she also put it in her bottle and it helped a lot.

Re: Prune Juice
Yeah we di the prune juice but you can't just do it once you need to be a little consistent like you said. It works trust me I had to give my DD several suppitories(wrong spelling) because she wouldn't go and now she gets prunes everyday. She's 5 months old

Re: Prune Juice
I have had luck w/ prune juice for DD and never had any explosions. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you see it working.

Yes, it's never an immediate solution. Hopefully by tomorrow, she'll get some relief.
