Ever since my son Luke A.K.A. “Dukie” started solids at 6 months he has been constipated and he is 10 months now.  We have literally tried everything (probiotics, giving him water, watering down all his food, straight puréed prunes, rubbing castor oil on his abdomen and lower back, stomach massages, foot massages etc.)  As a last ditch attempt, we tried this mix of fruit and halleluiah it worked!!!

Now whenever Luke goes a day or two without a bowel movement we feed this to him for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it works like a charm (poops every day 1-2 times/day).   If you want to be extra sure this works, we would also give a sippy cup with organic prune juice and water for when he’s über constipated.

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious and moist they were.  Hope you enjoy!

For those of you not living in Toronto (the apparent centre of the universe) we are getting hammered with a ton of snow! It is really hard to believe that just yesterday it was a balmy 10 degrees Celsius (for us Canadians that’s t-shirt wearing weather eh!).  This weather is more confusing than the Juan Pablo “After the Final Rose”episode last night!!
