I don't think I would do that. Maybe a suppository? Prunes and water don't help my LO either.

I heard of it as well. We didn't have any on hand, so they said brown sugar water (or mixed with breastmilk) is okay as well. I think it's 1 tsp + 2 tbsp of water. Have you done pureed prunes? That was...
