My 8-months old baby has not had a bowel movement in 4 days. the prune and pair juices do not help, although she does not seem in pain. any suggestion?

Bowel movement: If you are breastfeeding a baby can go as long as week without having a movement. This is very normal. Since your baby is comfortable i wouldn't be concerned.As an aside pear juice may be constipating because it contains pectin which is a solidifying agent.
