Almost 9 Month Old with Severe Constipation

Hi, My soon to be 9 month old is severely constipated. This has been going on for about the past month. After no BMs for 5 days, I awoke to him screaming (in pain) this morning. He was pooping. He produced a moderate-large amount of very hard, ball like feces. (Sorry for all of the information). There also was blood....that I assume was caused by fissures. He is breast-fed. I have made a point to give him higher fiber foods. He gets at least two jars of pears or prunes each day. Also I have omitted all bananas. I have...

When to Start on Juice...

I was wondering when you started your infant on juice. Mine will be 7 months this week. I heard to water it down. What kind do you buy? I saw they have a toddler brand that has less sugar, but it's not 100% juice! Do I buy that since it's less sugar, or buy the 100% juice kind since I'm watering it down anyways?! Also, not sure if he's ready for a sippy cup, did you put juice in bottles? Thanks!

6 Month Old Suddenly Refuses Bottle and Sippy Cup

Hi, My son is breastfed, but took a bottle well for the first 4 months of his life. He was getting around 1-2 bottles a day so that my husband could feed him. Around 5 months old, he just started refusing the bottle. We would really like to have him take a bottle so that I can leave him with a sitter if needed. He also has problems with constipation. My doctor has recommended Karo syrup in one bottle a day, but he won't take the bottle. She then suggested apple juice in a sippy cup, and e won't take that either. Do you...
