Vegetables for weaning that don't cause constipation

6 month old ds has been on solids for 2 weeks and is slightly constipated. I've been giving him prune and peach puree, which he loves but I don't want him to get used to only sweet tastes. I know peas and broccoli are good for constipation. Any other vegetables?

Or grains? Oats? Etc.

I give my daughter dried figs and apricots, which are great for constipation. But yes they are sweet. Spinach is a good one, and can easily be hidden in pancakes, muffins, Mac and cheese etc. They don't really realise they're eating it, but foliage and roughage is great for constipation.

At two weeks into weanin I'm still mostly giving simple purees. No idea why. I kind of did blw with DD bit am going very slowly with ds. Anyway at what age do pp start giving complex food like muffins or Mac n cheese?
