What do you give your baby to help keep their tummy happy with solids?

Question

Baby is really struggling with gas and constipation lately. Prune purées, prune juice, gripe water at night, and extra water during the day don’t seem to be doing much at all. It’s messing with her sleep, which prior to this was amazing: 7-9 hours straight at night. Now we’re back to up every 3-4-ish hours crying 😢

Answer

Just sips of water during and after solids.
He doesn't have huge amounts either
Keep his milk feeds the same
All going fine so far
We do puree rather than BLW at the moment

Answer

I would also limit foods that cause constipation. Rice, bananas, steamed carrots, applesauce, cheese, potato, dairy. Offer plenty of high fiber foods like pears, broccoli, beans, peas, whole grains, berries.

Answer

We went through this for a couple weeks once he started getting adventurous with foods. I had to cut back to really simple foods like baby cereal and prunes once a day and tried to offer water more frequently. Things got better and now he is pooping almost every day.

Answer

I give him water throughout the day, which seems to help. And I give gripe water when he needs it. We also have a prescription to help with constipation that I give when needed as well.

Answer

Pears and breast milk... after 4 days of not pooping I skipped breakfast and that did it. She wasn’t truly constipated I guess but she used to poop daily and now solids seem to have slowed her system down.
