hi ! all ! i just learnt from my son'd doct that fruits and veggies starting with the letter P r good for constipation. Other than potatoes since they r starchy. I just wanted to inform others who don't know this. P - as in pears, prunes, pineapple etc. And also that by adding fruit juices for thinning soups or stews or any other dry mixture is a good thing instead of adding more formula or milk !

Hope this helps as children do get constipated once in a while !! Hetal replied. offer fresh ! and prunes go better with babies above 6months,and not before that,,before that babies have shown relfuxes, and some have shown loose motion just after constipation,,making them drained out with extreme health conditions...when prunes were given for constipation !!

so check with your ped,,offering diluted is not a prob,,1tsp is more than enough with cereals,,
instead offer pears,pureed mashed boiled apples with skin,,offer spinach, offer boiled pureed, mashed apricots with skin,offer fruits like prunes and apricots with banana,,if baby seems to be feeling heartburn because of its plain diluted form !
rest all is fine ! Usha replied. Hi sonia,

thanks for your tips, it wld be immense help to lot of mother. I read this tip of prune juice in earlier posts. when my son had constipating i check with my ped to give him prune. He asked us to avoid it, as a lot of pesticides and chemicals goes in to dry and preserve prunes. which is bad for the tender system.
