  I used to give my little one ella kitchens raisin and prune breekie a couple of times a week to make sure he didn't get bunged up. Worked for us but for some reason our Supermarket has stopped stocking it...arghhh!! x

  might be worth offerng a little more water and maybe a little diluted fresh orange juice in a morning, puree prunes are good too, my friends LO has been suffering a while and has had lactulose prescribed by the doctor that softens the stool x

  my daughter had very bad constipation up until around 10 months. it was only when she was weaned that it improved as i introduced prunes once every 2 days. canned ones are fine and just simmer for 5-10 mins and then puree. i added it to porridge usually. it works very quickly.
  
  try fresh orange diluted and if there isnt an improvement go to the gp. my daughter had lactulose which works after 2-3 days. if she hasnt pooed for 3 days def take her. they sometimes give u a suppositry xxx

  regular drinks of water should help (inbetween all meals and milk feeds), for a quick boost try some diluted prune juice or a spoon or two of some pureed prunes

  I agree with the recommendations for prunes. My DD had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago and they worked really well. I made a prune and apple puree as I found that the prunes pureed on their own were a really sticky consistency. If your LO isn't keen to the taste or texture, you could add some of the cooking liquid to her water.
