Hi All,

I'm having some difficulty getting solids started with DS#3 which is baffling me because solids weren't a problem for either of my other boys.
I gave him sweet potato for three days, home made rice cereal for three days, carrots for three days, and one serving of mashed banana and he got seriously constipated.
So I ceased all solids and gave him pureed prunes once a day and continued to demand breastfeed him.
It took 5 days for him to start pooping properly again.
Now though, every time I give him any solids (even fruit) he only poops once a day and it will be very small and formed (though soft).
I guess my question is... is this normal? Am I just freaking out for nothing?
I'm wondering if he would do better if I offered more solids rather than less?
And is it okay to offer him porridge at the tender age of only 7 months?
Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers,
Heidi
