what can I give my 5 month old preemie for constipation?could the similac neosure be causing it? or the extra iron shes taking? it's her first time being constipated.

her doctor told me to give either apple, pear or prune juice but didn't tell me how much to offer. he also said that she was at the age where I can offer her high fiber foods like lentils but I don't feel like offering her food since she's a preemie and most definitely isn't ready for it either.
