3 times a week, i mix half / one of the Ella's Kitchen prunes pouches into DD's porridge. That and some regular bicycle legs after bath time seems to do the trick for us!

I've tried belly massages, warm baths and usually cycling his legs work straight away but this time he's struggling, and Thankyou I'll go get some today, I was reading about prunes Ill try them x

I find the prunes can sometimes take a day or so to work through but the effects can be quite impressive 😬

Went and got some today, he's done a poo but it was quite hard so I'm going to try him with it and hopefully it helps him go a bit easier x

Chicken or scotch broth
Pineapple
Prunes
Beans
Lentils
Fruit juice

Are all good natural laxatives and all suitable at 7 months.

I used to pour boiling water into tub with few prunes. When cooled use the water for making porridge the prune would then be hydrated too could mash it into food.
Guess if Ella kitchen have prune pouches now they will save you the work.
