Constipation

Hey ZoeCat,

Hope you and your lil man are well! I definitely agree with Marijke, stop the rice cereal for now and start on the veggies. I was told to try all the orange veggies first. If you really not keen on making your own baby food I would suggest Hipp and Olli organic baby food, so maybe give those brands a try.

To help now for the constipation, my paed said prune puree or treacle brown sugar but what really worked well for Ali was Treacle brown sugar (make sure its not plain brown sugar as it wont work) 1 1/2 teaspoon in her formula (150ml back then), ive also had her on Reuterina drops (5 drops in her food).

Hope that helps

Just stop the rice cereal. Rice is binding, so it does aggravate constipation in little ones.

And I would unfortunately start making your own baby food because it contains more nutrients and I'll venture a guess as to more fibre which help with constipation

If you breastfeed, it should actually not be as big a problem if you demand feed. If you formula feed you really do need to up the intake of fluids (I know your little one is just a bit older than mine) If it's a recurring problem, try brown sugar or oil in the bottle it will help to get the tummy moving. Also if you had a c-sec which I'm sure I read somewhere then probiotics is also important

Hi All

I have started my Littile one on solids.

And i have noticed yesterday when I changed his nappy, a hard poop ball.

I have stopped the rice cereal today and the carrot purity.

Is there anything else I can do.
