Have started weaning DD at 25 weeks on recommendation of the HV due to slow weight gain. She has been Ebf until now.
She has taken to it better than I expected. I started on Saturday afternoon with avocado, next afternoon sweet potato, yesterday and today I've given her breakfast of porridge and banana mashed up plus a veg mash in the early evening (carrot and potato). She's also eating a bit of fromage frais. Doe that sound ok? She is opening her mouth for the spoon and seems to be enjoying it. I'm worried that I'm overloading her a bit.
Also concerned that she hasn't had a poo since starting, so since Saturday morning. Doe this mean she's constipated or is it usual for bowl movements to change when starting to wean? She doesn't seem uncomfortable in herself or straining to get a poo out.
Any insight gratefully received! (First DC!)
