Juice could make his belly hurt. If you try that, I'd dilute it down. the only things I can think of are to "bicycle" his legs to help get it moving, maybe some Milicon gas relief drops (they are safe for little babies).
I hope you arent thinking that stopping BF is the reason for the constipation. There "poop" cycles are always changing. Mine will go from a night time pooper to a morning pooper, then to poopin every couple of days. She is BF and FF.

My son had that problem until we swiched him to a new formula. Nutramagen (sorry, dont think I spelled it right) That did help. If i still had problems I would give him apple juice or pear juice. If it was really bad, i could give him minerial oil in his bottle or juice (you would have to check with your dr on how much to put in the bottle) Also, a warm towel (heated it up in the microwave for a few seconds just to warm) on my sons belly would help with any pains he had (this was usually gas related). Hope this was helpful.
