My daughter has been constipated for already a week. Since yesterday I have been giving her prunes puree (she is 8 and a half months old). What should I do?

If your daughter has been constipated for a week already, there are a few things you can try. You can increase the frequency of breastfeeds, try doing bicycle movements with her legs while lying on her back, give her small amounts of water after burping, limit solid food meals to two per day, and if things don't improve in a few days, you can consider trying a laxative.
