Tried changing his formula?

Have u talked to his dr?

Prune juice is much better than prune puree.... Faster acting

Is he teething...some kids get constipation when they r until the tooth has finally erupted.

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

1/2 cup pear sauce everyday since there isn't any fiber in his diet.

Formula can be constipating.

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

Prune juice should work right away, dilute it with water first though

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

My daughter has had constipation issues ever since she started solids. One thing that made a big difference was switching from rice cereal to oatmeal. But once she was a bit older, the constipation issues have come back. While your baby is under 1 and his diet is restricted, prune juice/pear juice or the fruit purees themselves are probably best.

Also, around 8-9 months when the constipation issues became chronic we started holding my daughter in a sitting position over the toilet when she was straining. She was not able to put pressure correctly by herself. This has really helped her.

gripe water has always helped my daughter

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

It's probably best if you take your son to the Dr's. Best to be on safe side. :)

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

I have heard that honey with warm water helps and butter make it worse. Try giving him mashed fruit regularly esp pears !

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

yap gripe water in hot water really works try it

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

Try warm water with gripe water. Or warm water with a little pure orange juice. Not from concentrate.

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

i have use honey as well and it made some difference but I don't know whether you want to give honey to a 9 month old yet

Re: ReAlly bad constipation...6 month old pleasee help!

He's only 6 months. OJ and honey are not options, according to most docs. I didn't realize gripe water was helpful for constipation.
