My Daughter turned 6 months 2 weeks back. Last week I started with small piece of mashed banana in rice cereal. Also same day I made a paste of rice,dal,carrots and peas. Fade her lunch and dinner. She was heavily constipated next 3-4 days. She had some tear of skin near rectum. After that as per dr' s advice I started with gerber prunes and apple juice which gave some relief. But again from yesterday she feels constipated. I am giving her all fibrous gerber food. Offering her additional water. But still its not like before that she will go potty in the morning ( full soiled diaper). I have a older child who did not have this issue. It is very much frustating to watch a crying child while passing stools. As I am in US drs. suggest gerber prunes which my daughter really hated....I had to forcefeed her.Can anybody help me with some natural remedies to resolve this issue. Your help will be appreciated. Minka replied. Hi ,

try soaking black grapes overnight in hot water. Then crush with spoon and strain . And give it to the baby. It works for my son - I started with around 5 when he was 5 months old and now he' s two and I still give him when he has some problem.

I have honey in warm water is also good but of course, you child is too young for it. Maybe after 1 year it' s ok. prao replied. Give her a little palak (spinach) puree. This helps.

mashed Banana worked wonders for my babies constipation, but I have read that some babies tend to get constipated with Banana anita replied. Hi chafa,
I´ m a mother of 14 months old baby.When she was 5 months old ,had severe constipation and she cried a lot.Her doctor suggested us to give her prune juice which adults take.It really worked wonders.Hope it will help you.
Give her more water as much as she can drink.
Give her apple fruit blended along with skin.
Good luck!!!!!!! nandini replied. Hi chafa...
