Weaning poop 💩

I have been weaning my 6 month old for just over 3 weeks but he has started to become constipated so I have been giving him the odd bit of lactulose by the Dr but not literally twice a day everyday. His poo seems to be solid and everytime he poos he throws up from pushing. Is he still constipated? Is this normal or do I need to do daily laxatives until he is no longer sick/has solid poo. He had laxatives yesterday and didn't go at all then today he's done solid small poos twice and threw up with the second one. Any advice?

What foods are you giving? Are you offering water alongside?

So far it's just apple 11 amish and weetabix 6pmish . Going to either move onto potato or carrot and parsnip tomorrow. Doing one food a week so it's slow moving but he broke out in eczema with other fruits and food I've tried. I havent been giving water alongside food just his milk so he usually has 4-5 oz then his solid food. Once I've started with the solid he hits away his bottle and won't take anymore even for sips Inbetween. He also has a bottle in the morning and about 2.30ish.

I didn't give milk with food. I gave milk at usual times and food in between. That meant I could offer a small amount of water in a lidded cup alongside.

How much milk is he having?

Hmm approx 7oz morning, 4-5oz 11, 7oz 3pm, 3oz 6pm with 4oz mixed with his weetabix and about 4-5oz at 7.30 his night bottle so about 30-32oz. He sometimes doesn't finish his bottles but only leaves an oz say. Is it normal for the poo to be formed and hard idk I'm so used to the mushy baby ones. He's just done another small one before bed so I do feel like there might stil be a backlog there.
