I started weaning my 5 month old DD2 a week ago. She has taken to it well and didn't seem to have any problems - still on one meal a day at the moment. But this morning while I was changing her nappy she started doing a poo and was crying - it was pretty solid and clearly very uncomfortable for her.
All she had yesterday was carrot mixed with baby rice. I'm wondering if the problem was the baby rice? Though she has had it before.
I've not been giving her any water, could that be the problem? She's breastfed so I didn't think she needed water yet.
Any ideas? Or is it just one of those things? Don't remember DD1 ever being constipated!
