Just carry on its fine, they don't poo as much when they are on solids

I'd carry on tbh. You're probably onky giving tiny portions if you only started 4 days ago. What fruit are you giving? Apples and bananas are binders so not the best with constipation. Pears?

Cycle them little leggys also deep warm baths and a tummy massage. Mabye reduce how much food just for now. breast milk is a natural laxative so feed away. Mine went an impressive 11 days 😂

I want to carry on feeding solids and he’s been loving it so maybe reduce to once a day at the moment.

I’ve been cycling his legs like crazy and doing the tummy sun/moon massage.

Try a peach always makes mine go 😂 last resort some prune puree not to much mind. Try do less veg at dinner if wind is keeping him up

Apricot and prune puree worked a treat for DD when weaning!

I'd ditch the baby rice, keep on with fruit and veg. Maybe try a sippy cup for water.

Baby rice can be constipating too

dementedpixie · 17/09/2018 13:08

And once a day is enough to start with

Forget the baby rice which is of no nutritional value. Continue with fruit. If he is old enough for solids he is old enough to drink water from a beaker.
