Thanks for the advice on taking our little man to the pool, just another quick question, he has been having a teaspoon of solids once or twice a day. Usually Pear and Banana, or Sweet potatoe and pumpkin, and I mix it wth Farex aswell. He used to have a bowel motion every day, now its every second or third. Is this normal, is there anything we can do to prevent constapation? We give him cooled boiled water often, and he is formula fed. Any advice would be great, Cheers. ;)
If his poos are hard and they're only small that's constipation, if he isn't doing them as regularly then he should be ok, it just might be taking his body a little longer to process the extra fibre. Keep an eye on his stools for a change in consistency...but if it's still relatively "soft" then he isn't constipated. HTH :)
I'll preface this by saying that everybody is different, and this may not apply to you, but my DS definitely had a problem with pooing when we introduced banana. Don't know why, but when I stopped giving it to him, things went back to "normal". But SS Storm describes the difference nicely - if you're not seeing a consistency change, just a frequency change, then prob nothing to worry about.
