Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Solids

My LO is 6 months old and breastfed, we started her on solids recently and have noticed it makes her constipated and gassy. Just wondering if this is something normal that happens when introducing solids, or is it a sign she isn't ready yet?

Re: Solids

  • What kind of food have you fed her?

  • It could be the type of solids you are feeding or it could be the brand. My daughter didnt like gerber  brand baby food but loves earths best organic. So you might have to try a few and see what she likes and what agrees most with her body.

    Pedi told us rice cereal and bananas are constipating. You can always give her some prunes. That would help.

  • We make all of her baby food so it wouldn't be the brand. We skipped cereal and went right to veggies and fruits, we gave her carrots and bananas so far, so maybe it's the bananas that did it!

    We obviously haven't started solids yet, but just wanted to comment that carrots are also very starchy and can tend to stop up the system.

  • I've read that both carrots and bananas can cause constipation.  Pears are supposed to be a gentle way to get things moving.
