constipation-relieving soup for baby?

For constipation relief, a suitable soup for babies is: squash-prune vegetable soup is the most commonly used and generally well-tolerated by babies.

How to prepare: Boil one small squash, one small carrot, and 2-3 unsweetened, additive-free dried prunes in a small amount of water until soft. Blend until smooth. Serve lukewarm, plain without any additions (no salt, oil, or spices) to babies 6+ months at meal time or snack time.

Why it works: Squash's high water content helps soften stools; carrots provide fiber; dried prunes contain natural sorbitol that supports intestinal movement.

Important notes:

  • Babies under 6 months don't receive solids; if there's constipation, consult your pediatrician.
  • When introducing dried prunes for the first time, start with a small amount and monitor baby's tolerance.
  • This soup is temporary support, not a cure; if constipation lasts longer than 1 week, baby seems uncomfortable, or you see blood in stool, consult your pediatrician.
