constipation help please
« on: October 14, 2005, 16:44:57 pm »
Ds is 5 months old and we've been trying small amounts of solids but  he's now so constipated.  I think it's the bananas fault!  He hasn't had a regular bm in about 3 days. He has been straining and pushing and there's barely a pebble in his diaper.  He's very fussy and seems to want to sleep more.  I think he may be teething as well.
The doctor's office is on lunch so I thought I'd give you mamas a try.  Any advice?  TIA!

Some prune juice diluted may be an almost instant relief but can be a bit drastic.  Try some fibre - oat porridge or some fruit - pears are good, apples will bung him up more.
