Raisin water for babies and kids, Dry grapes water – Home remedy for constipation

Raisin water is an excellent home remedy for treating constipation in babies and kids.Raisins or dry grapes are soaked overnight and the juice is given to babies and kids the next day morning in empty stomach which gives a good relief and slowly reduces hard stool.

This is an age old method our grannies used to treat constipation in babies.

Please remember mothers feed is the best and its always good to start with other food(including water) only after the baby completes 6 months.So this raisin water can be given to babies only after 6 months.In case if you have started baby food in 4 months itself then this is suitable to feed after 3 months.
