You have said you've tried prunes. Have you tried prune juice? If this doesn't help, talk to your local pharmacy or your babies dr.

The quick fix is to try taking the baby's temperature rectally. It often stimulates them to go.
Dietary fix is to up the amount of fiber your child is getting. Rice, bananas, and applesauce are all constipating, as are cooked carrots. Offer more whole grain foods - graham crackers to gnaw on for snacks, more fruits and veggies - less milk, cheese, and yogurt. You can also give juice - prune, cherry, grape, apple or pear juice - up to one ounce per month of age twice a day. I'd start with two or three ounces once a day and see what happens. You don't want to give them diarrhea. If that doesn't work, consult the pediatrician for more guidance.

There are several things you can do to help your child get through his or her constipation troubles. First of all, be sure you are providing your baby enough fluids. Drinking more fluids (preferably breast milk and water) equates to greater amounts of moisture in your baby’s colon. This means the colon will not need to take fluid from your baby’s stool and cause it to become dry and hard. Movement also helps work stools through the bowels. You can also engage your baby in as much physical activity as possible, start with simple exercises, such as moving your baby’s legs in a cycling motion as he or she lies down. Make a game of it, like “bicycling” somewhere or pretending he or she is running to you. This can be great fun for your baby while also helping to get things moving again! For more information about this I would suggest going to the following link:

There is some great info there, and it should help you!
Take care and be well!

Apple juice worked well for my babies but I do believe that there is an over-the-counter remedy for babies with constipation. If I were you I would call my pediatrician's office.
