8 month old constipated?

Prune juice and if she can walk then have her walk around if she can't lay her down on her back and move her legs in the running motion. Give her water, fruit juice, and high fiber food. Massage her tummy until it makes some come out.

sounds like it is constipation. Try some prune juice - mix w/another juice if she doesn't like it. Rasins. There is a prunes and oatmeal baby food by Earth Best I believe. Try to feed her foods today that will help soften her stool.

At the same time you want to avoid foods that can make her constipated like bananas, apple sauce, breads, too much dairy.

Think about what she has been eating too and see if there may be something out of the ordinary or something she ate a lot of as if you can get that out of her diet now it may help. It may not be the cause of the constipation but still worth a shot.

Also make sure she is drinking a lot of water, not juice - especially apple.

And, get a lot more fiber in her diet - fresh fruits and veggies are best.

Prune Juice until the doctor returns your call.

A half of a can of corn works for my boys. The corn doesn't completely digest and the pieces scrape the excess build-up off of the walls of the colon.

Good Luck!!
