DD is 11 months - has a continual problem with constipation since starting solids. She does not eat much and we have taken it all slowly with baby led weaning, but it's as if when she reaches a critical level of food she gets constipated so stops eating for a few weeks, bowels back to normal for a day or two, starts eating then the constipation cycle starts again. I always felt that breastfeeding was enough to provide her with the liquid she needs - (and she is still demand feeding around 8 times in 24 hours.)I do try to get her to drink but she doesn't like beakers cups really - she'll have a little bit from a doidy but I struggle to get her to have even 1oz a day. Gp not interested , but I feel so sad for my little girl and am sick of seeing her in pain.
