"Orange Juice Magic: How I Handled My Baby's Constipation Naturally -

How i tackled my baby"s constipation

So, mamas, let me tell you about how we dealt with my baby's constipation naturally. My baby has started taking solids and she turns 7 months in a few days. I had stepped out early morning to my store to get some things in place when my husband called me, all worried because our little baby hasn’t pooed yet. He told me to get a medication for babies that helps them poo, so I rushed to Medplus and got a medication for constipation.

When i got home Instead of reaching for medication right away, I asked my husband if he had tried the orange juice hack! He said he had diluted the oranges with water, but I thought, "Nah, that won’t cut it!" I knew the acid in oranges could be an issue, so I decided to give it a go without diluting it. I squeezed fresh oranges (I used just one orange), filtered it, and got the amount of juice I wanted. I put it in her bottle.

It was a bit of a struggle at first to get her to drink it, but eventually, she drank it. After a while, she started to cry, indicating she needed to poo. She was struggling, so I sat down on a stool, put her on my legs, and opened her legs. Voilà! She was able to poo!

Seeing her relief was priceless. Later in the evening, we gave her more oranges, which helped her poo more. So, mamas, if you ever face a similar situation, go the natural way first. Nature knows best! And don’t forget, when you sit, hold your baby and open her legs a bit to make the process easy. You can also assist with your pinkie finger to help. Put a little Vaseline on your hands and use it to avoid your baby having a tear.

Sometimes the simplest solutions work wonders. So mamas, if your baby has constipation, try fresh orange juice, and I'm sure it's gonna work. We ended up not using the medication I got. We all know the cost of medications now, so let’s always go for the natural way, mamas!
