Constipated

My daughter is almost 7 months old and I recently started her on baby food. I was doing cereal and purees but she got really constipated. So I cut out the cereal and have been giving her only purees (Apple, pear, carrots, peas, and sweet potato). She still strains and cries every single time she tries to go and I end up having to either give her a suppository or help her out a little with a q-tip and Vaseline. Has any one else's baby gotten constipated so easily??

  • My LO has the same issue. He poops once every 7 days now. Poor guy pushes a lot and I can tell he's trying to go every time. I diluted some prune juice in water and that seemed to help the other day.

  • I feed my LO prunes every other day.  It seems to help.  :)

  • "P" foods help. Prunes, peas, peaches, pears....also apricots too. My LO was getting constipated from rice cereal so I switched him to oatmeal. He has been able to go once a day to once every other day with the addition to the "p" foods once a day.
