Weaning - Poop Issues

Emily • Mummy of 3 💙💜💙 🇬🇧 UK

Hi all, I’d say the last 2 weeks my baby has really taken to eating solids but he prefers baby led to spoon fed so he mainly eats things like banana, buttered toast (crusts off), porridge, weetabix...and I let him try things I cook for us before seasoning it like spaghetti bolognaise, sausage and mash, etc. I always offer water with meals which he takes and I still breastfeed 4/5 times a day.

The last 3 days he’s had solid poop, it’s quite squishy and doesn’t seem like it should be painful but he screams while pushing it out and it’s horrible 😢

Anyone else having poop issues with weaning? What can I do to ease the pain or is it just that it’s a different experience for him?
