Hi everyone,
I am a new mom to a 6-month-old baby who has been struggling with constipation for the past few days. I have tried a few home remedies such as prune juice and massaging his tummy but it doesn't seem to help much. I am worried about my baby's discomfort and would love to hear any advice or tips you may have on promoting regular bowel movements. Are there any specific foods or remedies that have worked for you and your baby? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello!
As a mother of a 9-month-old, I totally understand your concern. My daughter had constipation, and I tried everything recommended. Finally, I found that feeding her small amounts of apple juice mixed with water worked really well, which my pediatrician recommended. I also increased the number of wet wipes during diaper changes, which helped her feel more comfortable. It's significant to note the color, texture, and irregularity of stools while keeping track of the baby's discomfort. Sometimes, a warm water bath or a tummy massage at regular intervals could also ease bowel movements. Remember to consult your pediatrician for any ongoing issues.
Best wishes!
