is there anything i can give a one year old for constipation that is like a home remedy?

Answer 1

try a suppository they sell them in the laxative isle for infants and toddlers good luck

Answer 2

My son has been on prune juice since he was 3 weeks old! his doctor told me to put a little in his bottle. Now, he is 20 months old and loves the stuff. That's the only way I can keep him from getting constipated. A cup a day...everyday!!

Answer 3

Apple juice or grape juice(1 part water, two parts juice, as opposed to 1 part water, 1 part juice.) Diced peaches or baby food pureed peaches(VERY good!)
Constipation when you switch from breast milk or formula to cow milk is very common. Just make sure you give your baby water and/or juice too!
Do NOT give the baby bananas, applesauce, cheese, rice, potatoes or bread while he/she is constipated...that can make things worse.

Answer 4

I don't know about home remedies, but you can get him a stool softener as opposed to a laxative. A laxative will probably give him the runs and he may become dehydrated, but a stool softener will allow him to go to the bathroom with less pain. Of course check the box and make sure you don't give him too much, but cut the pill in half if necessary. Stool softeners worked wonders on my nephews and also on the girls i nanny for.

Answer 5

The Dark Karo works great

Answer 6

Try an ounce of the Dark Karo Syrup in four ounces of milk or formula which ever she drinks.

Answer 7

Maybe a warm water enema, but get him some prunes (in the baby jars) and little by little give him some...it does work

Answer 8

Prunes should work, but my grandmother always said she gave her kids a tablespoon of grape jam. She had 9 kids so I bet she's right!

Answer 9

Prunes work really well. You can try prune juice, or a baby food jar of prunes.

Answer 10

Prunes Work Great.... Or Squash. (Baby food in a jar)
