    Hi my 31 weeker is 10 month adj. it took 2 months to finally eat solids. I offered twice a day and nothing and tried so many diff tips. His doctor said to reduce the formula intake so he'll be hungry. I didnt want to starve my lo but after a week it worked a dim so happy that he eats very well now. However, since I lowered the formula intake, he is getting constipated :(

    i tried water of sippy cup but he is not taking it, I'm worry that he's getting constipated. Any advice on how to help with water n take and deal with constipation?

      Have you tried prune or apple pures for the constipation? It works great for my kids.

      How many ounces of formula is your little one getting?
