Solid poo prior to 6 months - BF + solids

[Visitor8]

I remember Jaidan hating to poo, he used to scream the house down and I thought he was in serious pain but looking back I think he just didn't like the feeling and possibly was a little windy.

If he is having solids, then solid poo is normal. Not rock hard obviously, but formed, soft poo. Ashton changed from runny to formed (I can roll it off the nappy) once he started eating solids too.

If there is one thing in life I can't give up, it is my lattes. I did try decaf oat milk lattes once, if you haven't, don't!

So there is no problem with him having really well formed poos? How about once a week or longer? Ideally I don't want him on any medication at all and if this behaviour is not out of the ordinary then I will take him off of it.

Arimeh, did you get the pro-biotics from the chemist or health shop? I tried X on Yakult for a while but didn't keep it up longer than 4 days.

Curly, did prune juice (not diluted) and pears as well.

MR, I might try a LC again, I think we only have the 1 in town (which I saw and she recommended the solids and domperidone) but I will talk to the local ABA lady and see what she thinks.

Just goes to show you are not an expert on kids after having 1, I doubt we are after 2 or 3 even

Thanks so much everyone for your insights and advice.

We got the first lot from our paed chiro - his suggestion - then we got the next dose from the natural health food store

as long as they aren't hard there is nothing wrong if he's eating solids.

And babies can go up to 12 days without pooping. Jaidan used to go once a day and then he started going up to 10 days! I went to the pead and he said it's normal for up to 12 days... the stuff he had held in for 10 days... well I'm sure you can imagine the size and stink lol

Well I guess I am just really concerned about the amount of pain he seems to be in while trying to get wind out and the solid poo thing really freaks me out because Noah only ever got puree poo until about 1 year of age. Last night I had to pedal out the wind 4 times and he shrieked the whole time. I would normally just feed him each time he stirs but I am wanting to break the night waking habit considering I usually feed him 6 or more times in the night.

it sounds like it's the wind bothering him, not the poo. Colic is common but for the life of me I can't think what you do about it I did use colic drops for a while but didn't notice a difference.

They do grow out of it. Fingers are crossed for you!

RE: Night feeding, Ashton used to wake that often at that age too, he is almost 10 months and he still wakes 3 times from 8pm till 7am for night feeds. Sometimes he sleeps through, which is becoming more regular now but he's still up the majority of the nights. It's normal for them to need night feeds up until 12 months if they are BF
