I am the grandmother of a 1 1/2 week old. She had regular bowels for the first 4 to 5 days following her birth, but now seems to have stopped most of her bowel movements. She grunts as if she is trying to go but only passes gas. Her last dirty diaper yesterday morning started out on the firm side and was not much to speak of. She doesn't seem to be in any pain but I am concerned about her becoming constipated and would appreciate any advice on how to regulate her tiny little bowels before we have an issue.
I realize that things have changed over the past 28 years, since my children were babies, so I did not know if you still allow diluted apple juice or diluted prune juice for infants?
