My 6 month old DD has been on solids for 2 weeks now. She has one meal a day in the evening- one plain pureed veg or fruit ie carrot, avocado, banana etc. Now I know that their poos change with the change in food but my DD has only done tiny little poos since she started solids. As in, sultana/pebble size- and usually only one 'bit' a day or even every second/third day. Don't want to go into too much detail but she hasn't done one that needs a clean up as such and there is nothing on her nappy except for the one pebble. Is this normal? She doesn't seem to be in any pain etc but am worried she is constipated. Grateful for any feedback!
Hmmm...not sure You could get her checked at the GP, they'd know by feeling her tummy if she is constipated or not.
My DD only ever did little 'sheep droppings' I used to call them! Although there was more than one 'bit' per day. On the upside they are so easy to clean up!
i'm not sure either, my DD still does explosions even after solids.
What I was going to say though, some of the bubs in my baby buddies thread have had similar issues, and have been given some chopped up dried prunes which help. I also find pears usually cause an explosion too! Have you had tried pears?
Sounds like she is constipated to me. Do you give her water? A little boiled water usually does the trick for my son.
Like some one else said, Pears are good to get things moving.
Thanks all. I tried pear and prune juice for 2 days to no avail. Took her to the dr this afternoon and it was constipation so got some Actilax from chemist. Dr said it is very good and very safe so we are looking forward to the elimination!! Dr also said it gets to a stage where pear/prune/apple juice just won't help and stronger stuff is needed.
