Brown sugar?

[Angel2Fire]

I was wondering at what age you can give babies brown sugar and water, how much you should give and how often?

Thanks

For what reason???????? You're not supposed to give babies sugary things at all

Yeah I was wondering the same thing? Are you talking for constipation?

Yeah, I forgot to mention it was for that

Oh ok, I personally would try a bit of plain water first, if that doesn't work I'd do some fruit juice (only 100% and watered down) before just the brown sugar water. Atleast that way the sugars from the juice would be natural sugars

i was going to try this once, i found cooled boiled water and a deep warm bath worked!

Didn't know sugar was a laxative. I'd try fruit juice diluted as well like mummy of 3 suggests.

Can they have prune juice? Or is that too strong?

 

[mommyof3co]

Yeah you can do a bit of prune, apple, white grape. I would really try some plain water first though

I always found that pear juice worked for my lo, like above posters said cut 100% juice with water though
