My son is 7 months old. he is having constipation. what should i give him? will coconut water help in softening his stool.

Prune juice: 2 oz of prune juice a day or simply add 2 oz of extra water to his diet. Please do not try honey or karo syrup. If still having constipation or blood in stool consult a physician.

Constipation : If he is on formula and having hard stools, you may want to try a small amount (1/2 ounce) of baby apple juice in one of his bottles of formula per day. Another choice is a tablespoon of dark karo syrup in the bottle. Give only once a day and see how it goes. If you don't have results, increase by adding to 2 bottles/day. If too loose, decrease. If it persists, see your doctor.
