I feel like my baby (6.5 months) is struggling so much to poop lately since we started giving her more foods! She loves solids and eats whatever we offer her, but will regularly strain for several minutes and produce nothing or just a tiny hard stool.

I’m trying to focus on high fibre foods (pears, prunes, peas) but also want to offer her some diverse options. Also trying to get her to drink more water which is tough...

Was thinking of trying flaxseed sprinkled on her other foods since it’s supposed to be good for BMs, but not sure if she’s old enough. Anyone using it?? Other strategies for keeping your babes pooping?
