I just started some rice cereal 2 weeks back for my baby She turns 5 months after 2 days...Today she has got constipated..and I realised that I needed to add some fruits juices..

What all can I give her right now??
thanks Hetal replied. hi,
drs in US recommend strictly that 100%juices shouldnot be given to babies below 1 year, however the baby needs to add in extra water diet which can be solved by giving DILUTED juices to the ratio of 1juice:4water is ok for babies below 1 year !
give the juices of the frruits you have already introduced. any citric juices are tend to give gastric reflux or heartburn to baby,,,
for constipated babies,giving prune juice to the ratio of 1juice:4 water : 1 part pulp of any sweet fruit,,by 5months,i will be bananajuice. is great to give...babies when start solids, they tend to get constipated,,offer more liquids or water or pedialyte in their dialy intake,,and should be fine !
good luck
so take care. Minka replied. Hi,

You can try sweet lime ( mosambi ) but sometimes this is too acidic for babies - may not like the taste and may even cause acidity for her. So make sure you dilute . Increase her water intake to make sure she's not constipated. Also you can try the age-old black raisin technique - it worked for my son. Soak a few black ( 4-5 to start with ) raisins in hot water overnight. In the morning, warm up the soaked water and raisins a lil, strain it ( seeds and grit will be removed tahat way ) and let baby drink it - hope she likes it. My son does - we give his multivitamin drop and calcium along with this juice ! elders say this should be given on empty stomach - but I give it an hour after his first milk feed around 7 AM
