Transition to milk- constipation?
I started with a little milk to help transition and Im noticing consitpation on both now.
Are they related?
They were on milk based formula...So I dont think its an allergy to milk

Definitely. Luke's got the same problem. That's why they tell you no more than 18-20 oz a day, and even that will do it too.

I had to give DS prunes every day when he transitioned to milk.

Stick with the prunes. That helps DD for sure!
It will get better as they get used to it- just keep the transition SLOW.
I did one ounce for a week in the formula.
Then 2 ounces for a week.
I went super slow.

This happened with our DD, especially since she was on Nutramigen which basically went through her. We gave her a child probiotic in the morning and metamucil once a day at night. We would also give her one drink of apple, pear or prune juice (all worked the same for her) a day- 2 oz of juice and 6 oz. water.
