My 6 almost 7 month old is doing really well with solids! Eating three meals a day and he seems really happy apart from when he is trying to poo. Since he was born he only ever pooped every 3-4 days and it never really bothered him. Now that he is on solids he is really straining and is finding it hard to pass. It’s usually pellets.

I’ve tried giving him prunes (half a 75g pouch) with his cereal every morning and it doesn’t seem to do anything. He has fruit after every meal (faves are berries, banana, grapes, orange).

Also giving him sips of water with his food. He seems to really like the water. Should I be trying to give him more water between food? Am worried it will mean he won’t be getting enough milk. He is breastfed 3-4 times a day, and 1-2 times during the night.

Any advice welcomed!!!
