What is the ratio of sugar to water for a 6 month old baby? ?

Question

My daughter is 6 months old and became constapated a week ago. She is doing better, but still needs a little assistance. However I do not want to over load her with sugar and junk.

Answer 1

0% sugar.... when my kids and grandkids were constipated as babies, I was instructed to give them an ounce of prune juice diluted with 1 ounce of water- works quickly, so be ready!

Answer 2

I use Gerber pear juice for my 6 month old, works like a charm everytime. Just 2-3 ounces or so.

Answer 3

Sugar is an old wives tale. It does nothing. She needs the fiber in natural fruits. Give her watered down prune juice or apple juice (1/4 juice to 3/4 water).  

Answer 4

Try using natural sources of sugar like fruit.  Prunes and apples are good choices.
