Ok mommas I am at a loss and don't know what else to do.. .I am a first time mom and my daughter is 8 mo old and breastfed (although she has now weaned to only 3 times a day on her own I might add) We have introduced solids and purées and she loves loves loves food!Problem is since introducing food she has been constipated! She will have a bowel movement sometimes 3 to 4 times a day but they are small and hard (no bloody stool or wipes ever but sometimes she really works hard to go) and then sometimes they are totally normal! I've called the doctor and was told not to worry if she's going daily but it's seriously starting to worry me, we're going on over two months of this being an issue. I've overhauled my diet, avoided "binding" foods for her, given her more water, prune and apple juice, given her more green veggies, hot baths, made her move around more and still no changes and I just feel terrible for her!!!Help!!!!I called doctor again and made an appointment but everyone keeps saying not to worry!!

Have you tried a high fiber diet for yourself and her

Fruits that start with p works wonders prunes pears and peaches also make some oatmeal for her for good fiber

You could try probiotics too; rainbow light is gentle on the stomach and it's a powder that dissolves in a drink. Can find it at Vitamin Shoppe. Also, green veggies are high in fiber and will help her. I remember if I ate spinach when I breast fed it worked wonders. Broccoli is another good one too. I did recently come across a natural version of prunes juice for constipation at Walgreens it's called constipation ease by mommys bliss; it has prebiotics in it too to help. Good luck!
