Can starting baby on meats (beef, chicken, ham) cause constipation?

Question

I started giving my daughter these pureed meats once daily and she's struggling more to poop. She made very little yesterday so she's not constipated yet....but I'm wondering if the meats are why she's struggling now. 
I'm wondering if I should cut the meats back to every other day instead of daily. Help! FTM!

Answer

When starting foods instead of milk, constipation is to be expected. I never bothered with baby food meats - they're disgusting. I wouldn't want to eat it

Answer

How old is your daughter? I never really did the whole pureed baby food thing, we just went to foods at 6 months. He is now 10 months and just cut his first tooth, but he's had ground beef, pork, chicken, turkey etc. I would just make sure you balance things out with plenty of fiber. Fruits and what not. Bananas tend to be a bit binding too. But things like blueberries, strawberries, pear, raspberry all help.
