Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 My baby (Caroline) did not have an issue with this until I stopped feeding her breast milk -- and immediately, she started struggling with constipation. I now feed her 4 oz. apple / prune juice daily to keep her more regular. I wish I would have stayed with the breast milk longer, but I started skipping pumping sessions, so my milk supply kept getting reduced. I'll certainly know better next time! My pediatrician said that if she was exclusively breast-fed, she could go up to seven days without a BM, but on formula not to let her go more than three days. She suggested starting w/ 4 oz. apple juice, and if that didn't work, mix with prune juice. By the third day if she hasn't gone, I give her straight prune juice.
