What foods help keep your little one 'regular'?

Avocado and banana are high in fibre.

Banana made my DS very constipated. If it's any consolation, my DS was constipated on FF but when we switched over to cow's milk at 12 months it improved a lot. I make sure he has WeetBix every day for breakfast and a plain or stewed apple for morning tea.

Banana made my DS very constipated.

They can do a bit of both. Depends on the baby I guess.

bananas and cheese constipate DD1, strawberrys and weetbix are a sure fire way to get her moving
If she eats plenty of veg and fruit and yogart she seems to have no troubles its when I get slack and give her easy food that we have issues and there is nothing worse than watching a baby do a hard poo

Banana made Jazz get really terrible green stringy diarrhea!

Yoghurt always helped, and so did some lightly steamed pears or apples.

MR when we started the meds we were in a really hard place - nothing else was working and he was so distressed - and the dose was so low that we were happy with the decision to continue. I know the formula is the main culprit so I am keen to see how he transitions in the next couple of months with more foods (he's gutsing solids like no tomorrow) and switching to cow's milk at 12 months. Thank you for your advice.

He usually drinks water with his meals but not a lot. Just sips really. I'm trying to encourage more but I can't force it down him. I might try some different cups.

I've heard that banana can block them up so we've avoided that. He loves pears, and yoghurt and peaches so we're trying to use those kinds of things to help him. Its been hard - his diet has been mainly fresh fruit, veg & some meats so seeing the problem persist has been tricky. I've got some prunes to stew up as well to mix in with yoghurt too which should help.

Thanks for your help everyone.

You are doing a great job hun. I hope things get easier once you can stop the formula

Apricots! Whenever my kids were having trouble as babies, my sister did the same, i just gave them something with apricots in it.. always works.
