Does constipation generally point to one intolerance??

Thanks Eloise!  I have kept a sippy close by at all times for the last week or so... it's water/prune juice... started probiotocs again and put her back to a higher dose of the MiraLax to get things moving again... so far so good!

Hi, I just wanted to add, and this may be totally just "my" baby, but I found that sweet potato in any form caused awful constipation ~even in soup form for both my kids...both in homemade food and in any jars I used....and biscuits/bread also, even in small quantities had the same packing effect?

Hope it all settles really soon, it's horrid for them

Gluten caused terrible Constipation in E. no one would help her either all i got was "breastfed babies don't get constipated" We cured her with prunes cooked in prune juice in replace of normal meals just prunes in prune juice 3 times a day. we are talking alot of prunes and it worked amazingly poor thing didnt go for a couple of weeks and was at the screaming agony stage

we do put some of our prune success down to slight sal sensitivity but if you add 3 prune meals to 2 days of it I am confident it will get things going and then 1 prune pudding or breakfast every other day to help keep regular while you figure it

but even a sniff of gluten early on bam she couldnt poop for days

Hi, we also had constipation from apples, bananas, sweet potato and baby rice at that age

so weird... sweet potato is generally recommended to get things moving... so much conflicting info out there!

She loves yams so I have now mixed them with pears 50/50

I know! I think as with most things you have to go with what suits your LO best

So true... and more evidence that babies should come with diagnostic systems like cars do
