I am mother of twin boys of 11 months age. they occasionaly suffer from contipation and that leads to fissure in their anus, which is very painful for them. After treatment they improve but after some time they again get constipation. Can u suggest some special food for them so that they dont get constipation. Their diet is very less as they hardly like any food, and it also depends upon their mood. Any method to improve their apetite and diet. Pls note that they were pre mature babies born in 8th month. Pls suggest some measures for it . (Sunaina-mother) nicemom replied. hi sushil & sunania,
my baby also suffered with comstipation and what a doctor friend suggested was PRUNE juice. i don't know the hindi word for it but it is easily available here in the usa in the juice aile. dilute 1:4 (prune juice to water/milk) and feed.
your baby will definetely pass stools, that too soft, in 5-8 hrs. its a natural laxative.
if your baby passes too many stools or loose ones, give the prunes with boiled apples always. as apples cause constipation. so usually, in gerber baby foods, they make a prune-apple combination.
try this when you feel your baby is constipated. i gave this combination everyday to my baby from 3 mths till she was about 6 mths. thats when she was not very consipated.
i hope this was of some help. Nidhi replied. Hi Sunaina

My daughter is also 11 mths and was born pre-term She also suffers from constipatn often you can give them 6-7 dried black grapes (dry fruit with seed. Soak them for 30 mins. in water - they'll become soft. Take out seed out of them and let ur baby suck on it 1 by 1.

hope it helps.
