To reply to the group, use "" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In response to the question concerning prune juice, I have recommended it for constipation many times, with excellent results. In general, I have recommended it as early as 1 to 2 months. I generally advise parents to begin with 1 tablespoon in 4 ounces of water once daily and titrate up to the desired results. I begin this suggestion if offering water 2 times daily does not soften stools adequately. Stephanie Dewar M.D. Youngstown, Ohio
