Is this constipation?

Question

My baby is on solids (3 meals a day) but is also frequently breastfeeding. Is this a constipated poo? He has baby porridge for breakfast, a puréed vegetable with my milk at lunch and usually a mashed banana at dinner time. He still has a lot of my milk. Probably breastfeeding every 3/4 hours as well as the food.

Answer

Yeah that definitely looks constipated to me. Did you ease into that much solids over a number of weeks or did you start feeding him three meals a day fairly quickly? It can take their little tummies a while to get on top of digesting all that food properly. Try a bit of sugar water with meals, or coloxyl (baby stool softener), and maybe swap the banana for pear? Banana is known to cause constipation, whereas pear is known to help it.

Answer

Yes definitely! Do you give him water too?

Answer

Yes . Try some applesauce . N give him a little water . He doesn't need much water though because of the breastmilk .

Answer

To be breastfed, I would say yes. Do you drink a lot of water? And I would cut back on the meals per day. I was giving my baby two a day and decided to cut it to 1 bc it seemed to be hurting his stomach

Answer

No, it seems fine just try cut the banana. My son was the same but now i guve banana very little
