Re: If your toddler had constipation..?

My toddler would not eat prunes so I bought juice with fiber which has way more fiber than prune juice. Sometimes it took hours, a day or did not work at all. My ds ended up on miralax for a yr. He is now four and of it put he only has bms every 2-3 days.

Re: If your toddler had constipation..?

my DD has had constipation issues since she was a newborn...and still does at almost 10 years old!

The prunes would take at least a few days to work, apple juice never did anything for her, but real apple CIDER did wonders after about a day, but it gave her terrible gas.

Miralax was a godsend for DD. She was on it when it was perscription, and now that it's OTC it still works just as good!! You might want to talk to you ped. about it....it's the only thing that ever had DD regular.

grapes work with us as well as yogurt...

Re: If your toddler had constipation..?

I was told that all juices including apple make constipation worse.....that only white grape juice is fine when constipated.

For us grapes work wonders. So do those litte packs of mandarin oranges. It can sometimes happen within 20 minutes!

Re: If your toddler had constipation..?

when DD was younger, prune juice worked great -within 12 hrs usually...but now she is 2 and wont drink the stuff (she got smart LOL)

apples...apple juice...grapes...raisons...all seem to help her have a BM.

good luck
