My 6 mth DD has been having solids for about 3 weeks now.She has taken to it like a dream and opens her mouth as soon as she can see the pot and spoon. The problem we are having is with really hard poos.She seems to be getting tummy ache but isn't upset when she actually poos. She is refusing water and diluted apple juice.I tried annabel karmel's dried fruit puree but I don't have a mouli and so there was lots of skin in it so I didn't give it to her. The HV suggested putting onto an oat porridge breakfast which i started today,mixed with water and apple puree. She is drinking 4 80z feeds, sometimes taking a 5th 405 oz feed. But I don't know what to do to help her. Don't want to go down lactulose route.I did try diluting feeds by adding extra 1oz of water, but she never finishes the feed.Stopped giving baby rice in case that was the problem.
Any ideas?
