My baby is 6 months and has been having some food for the last 3 weeks. We have been doing blw with a few purees added in. He started swallowing food from the blw straight away.
He has been constipated from about 2 weeks ago, he had pain going and small firm stools. This then settled and he went back to paste like poos. For the last 7 days now he has appeared to be constipated- from a week ago he has had 2 days nothing, 3 days small firm but not hard poo only, last 2 days nothing. I spoke to the GP and he was prescribed lactulose 3 days ago.
I have upped his water, cut back on food, tried to increase Breast feeding, given prunes, apricots, fresh orange in water. He has no wheat or dairy, no bananas, carrots or baby rice or porridge (he was having bananas and normal porridge previously). I don't know what else to do and am planning to call GP again tomoro.
Has anyone else had experience with this sort of constipation when weaning? He doesn't seem too u comfortable but his tummy is really big. Thanks.
