Advice for constipated infant?

I've posted a few times about my 3yo who we just weaned from glycolax (yea!).

My younger

son (10.5 months old but 8 months adjusted, he was born 10 weeks early) is/has

been a

constipated infant like his older brother. At this point he's still almost

exclusively breastfed,

just starting a few bites of solids a day. Looking back over the past month

he's had a pattern

of not going for quite some time (7-12 days and requiring a suppository) then

typically,

though not always, going every other day for 2-3xs. I'm doing epsom salt baths

with him

almost every other day but that's the only intervention I've tried for him. Oh,

and I gave him

about 1 tsp. prune/raisin/date puree last night but still needed to do a

suppository today. I'd

really like to avoid a repeat of my older son's experience, gradually increasing

constipation

until we ended up in the ER and on miralax. Any suggestions for my little guy?
