Doulamommy is correct, regularly only breast milk or formula should be given, but a small amount of prune juice is okay to help with constipation in babies over 1 month of age. However it should only be for a couple days until the constipation resolves.

My daughter wasn't given anything but breast milk and formula until she was four months old. It really depends on your baby and what the pediatrician recommends.

How old is the baby...usually the recommendation is 1oz (total juice+water) per day, per month of age
