Should I be concerned(maybe TMI)
My son is 27 mos old and he has started having BM's much less often. Usually if he gets to day 3 without a BM, I give him some prune juice and then he goes.....(sometimes explodes)......A little background. He was on a bottle until he was 2 yrs old b/c before that he would not drink milk from a cup. I was more comfortable letting him keep the bottle rather than drink no milk. At 2 yrs old I took him off the bottle and he has refused to drink milk ever since. That is when I first noticed he was "going" less, every other day. Now it seems to have gotten worse. I plan to call the ped, but wondered what all of you thought.
TIA!

Oh really, pear juice? Is it in the regular juice aisle? I never saw Pear juice, except for the Gerber ones, but I will look now. I was also thinking it could be related to the fact that he started preferring apple juice, he use to only drink white grape. Maybe I will try switching that back too! Thank you.

YES, I have heard that and thank you so much for mentioning the pear juice because that just triggered the apple juice thought. I just wasn't even thinking about that before....I bet thats what it is! I could kiss you

I just don't think i should have to give him prune juice everytime just to get him to go to the bathroom. he should be going on his own, without prune juice. especially that he has never had any constipation issues before now. now that i thought about it though it all make perfect sense it must be the apple juice binding him......this all started right around the time he started drinking apple juice
