My poor son has been constipated for days and today he finally pooped but it was hard and he cried trying push it out. I helped him by gently massaging his belly and putting his legs up by his belly but what can I do to prevent this? He's been on baby food and formula. He never had a problem with this formula. It was hard watching him in pain! 😨😨
Prunes and/or pear baby food. It's better than using the juice because it's pure and doesn't have any added sugar etc
Thanks! Do you get the juice with concentrate or without? @mommy_faith
I use all natural apple or pear juice. Is he using a sippy cup? I got one a couple weeks ago for my son and only put water or diluted juice in it. I do about two ounces of water to one ounce of juice. He never drinks the whole thing at once, usually drinks it throughout the day
Try a few ounces a day of apple juice and see if it helps. The juice seems to work better than the sauce. I buy normal unsweetened Apple juice. I do that if my baby is constipated and then to keep him regular I give him a little mixed with water everyday. I have given him up to a half a bottle of apple juice for when he was really in need and it worked within hours:)
My son usually only has 4-6oz of baby food a day though @theinkedmommy
My son has apples a lot. It is in a lot of his baby food and he still gets constipated @elenalee
At his age it's perfectly fine for him to have a little juice and it helps my son stay regular. Baby food constipates him to but he loves it so I can't cut back lol. I give him about an ounce everyday and it works amazing. His ped said he can have up to 6 ounces a day but to me that is wayyy to much. One ounce is enough
Apple juice works amazing for my baby. Or apple sauce.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Question. I just left my husband for cheating and now hes been harassing me. Hes threatening to come get our son. I dont care if he sees his son but I'm not comfortable with him leaving with him bc hes never taken care of him a day In his life and he might use him against me. Am I wrong for feeling this way??
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
I've been supplementing some with formula because my baby boy just demands more than what I'm putting out and he seems happier with the formula..my breast milk doesn't seem to satisfy him enough and it seems like he's always hungry unless I give him formula..should I switch to formula only? I thought breast milk was supposed to be best but in his case I'm not so sure ugh idk what to do I just want him to be happy
Thank u @sev1226
