For the Moms out there...

I read this the other day as I was researching about Carter's constipation. I didn't know all of this and thought I would share in case your baby experiences this:

"Bananas, rice cereal and applesauce all tend to produce firmer stools. Carrots and squash are constipating for some babies. Pears, peaches, plums, apricots, peas and prunes make stools softer. By balancing the diet, you can often keep the stools comfortably mid-range. If the stools are still too firm, juice is the gentlest medicine to soften them up. Apple juice twice a day is a good bet. If this doesn't work, prune juice is even better. Also, when your son is straining you might want to put him in a tub of warm water. This will relax his muscles and make the stool easier to pass."

Carter is still constipated. I'm calling his pediatrician to see what else I can do for him. I've tried apple/pear juice, more milk, prunes, applesauce, pears. What else can I do?
