Constipated baby?

Pay attention to your baby's moves, cries and bowel movements. I found that my 3-month-old baby tended to get constipated very easily despite the fact that she was 100% breastfed. Our pediatrician recommend that I change MY diet to benefit my daughter. So I ate lots of vegetables, whole-wheat products, and fruits and drank plenty of water. I avoided starch and processed foods, such as white bread, pasta, white rice, potatoes, etc. While the constipation was less it did not eliminate the constipation. My mother suggested that I give my daughter water in between feedings and something that really made a difference: PRUNES. I boiled 1 to 2 prunes (sometimes I threw 1/2 of an apple, raisins or dried cherries) for about 5-10 minutes or until prunes were soft, blended them until a smooth paste has formed and gave my daughter one or two teaspoons of this paste. It worked like magic. My daughter is now 3 years old, and the same prune paste is part of her daily diet. Ask your doctor if you should try this.
