So I’ve been weaning my 7mo old. I have about an 8 mo supply of milk in the freezer for her and even though I’m going 6-8 hours without pumping, I’m still producing the same amount of milk, which means she still eats the same amount everyday.

However, now that I’ve been giving her solids, her stools have been getting pretty solid. She even went four days without pooping and the stool she had was so hard it would’ve hurt me! 😣

I gave her apple juice to encourage a bowel movement, but It didn’t have the effect it had the first few times I’ve tried.

My main question here is how to avoid this issue in the first place.

Clearly Milk isn’t getting the job done with hydration, so should I try more water in her diet? Juice? How often should she be getting these?

(She has 5oz around 6am, oatmeal with breast milk around 8, then 5oz milk around 10, solids for lunch, milk around 4, solids for supper, milk again at 7ish, then again at 10ish)

She’s trying to poop right now 🤦🏽‍♀️
