Pediatrician,  's  Response
hello there,try giving him a little apple or pear juice. The sugars in fruit juice aren’t digested very well, so they draw fluid into the intestines and help loosen stool. As a rule of thumb, you can give 1 ounce a day for every month of life up to about 4 months (a 3-month-old baby would get 3 ounces). Some doctors recommend using corn syrup like Karo to get the same effect, usually around 1 to 2 tablespoons per day.If these dietary changes don’t help, it’s time to call the doctor.
