Thanks everyone! I would have tried a smidge of pear juice but I already had puree blocks in the freezer so I got the grape juice (instead of prune) as it's an organic one and a bit softer on the stomach. I thoguth it was working too but I was only giving him 1/2 a tsp a day so maybe I just need to up that to 1tsp.

Hi JLeigh Each food is really only given every few days as I have so many things to choose from. I can't put my finger on anything in particular which is why I thought it may just be used to him getting used to solids (it's really only been 5-6 weeks) hence wondering what foods are good for constipation and perhaps some of the ones I have been giving him might be known for it and I just may have not known.

Kiwi fruit! I actually bought some organic ones at the market this morning and forgot to mention that I was planign to introduce that too and rockmelon. Is rockmelon ok? I know it can be bloating, not a great thing if DS is constipated.

An update anyway, he mustn't be too blocked up as the beetroot from last night has come out today! nice red poo LOL
