My DD2 is 25 weeks old - we have been giving her baby rice, fruit and veg for 4 weeks as she was definitely ready for it - would have had the food off my plate if she could. She has taken to it and loves her food - knows what the little red pot means and eats every last drop offered to her. Big problem though is constipation. Mainly over the last week with straining and crying - all rather heartbreaking. We've been giving her lactulose for 5 days now but it doesn't seem to be helping. My theory is she needs some ruffage (is that how you spell it?) but not quite hitting the 6 months for wheat. Has anybody else had the same problem? Worried now that she'll associate BM with pain and that'll just make things worse. HELP
