Homemade food makes my baby constipated.

[Luce190]

When my 10.5 month eats homemade food (meat, dairy, veg) it clogs him up. He’s fine on baby food but obviously not very healthy. Has anyone else had the same experience??

I can't see how tbh. So, if you give him Ella's kitchen pureed sweet potato it is fine, but if you actually boil and then puree it yourself it gives him constipation?

Yeah. It could be anything I thought he just didn’t like my cooking at first lol

Maybe try watering the food down a wee bit?

DS had toddler diarrhoea, we eventually worked out that apple juice was the culprit. Many baby jar food is sweetened by apple juice, so he rarely had constipation when he had jar food. He had dairy allergy when he was a baby, and when he went to nursery they asked if we could provide jar food, just in case they couldn't provide a dairy free lunch. We could always tell when he had had jar food for a few meals.

Could it be something similar for your little one?

Agree with PP, add water. If you're using Ella's kitchen, they don't add apple juice or similar as a rule unless the recipe calls for it. With single foods such as sweet potato they definitely don't. Maybe also drop down the number of meals and make it purely veggie until his system gets better at coping?

Plenty of water (in food and to drink) and lots of "p" foods which help with poo. I'd avoid things like banana, egg or too much cheese for now.
