Weaning and constipation

[DorothyWasRightTho]

Have just started weaning my 6 month old a couple of weeks ago and he hasn’t pooed for over a week now. He’s quite distressed this evening crying and straining. Have given him prune and pear purée last two days but still nothing. Any ideas anyone?

Pure orange juice diluted down with water (1part juice to 5 to 10 parts water).

Oh and maybe if no progress after a day, contact gp of health visitor, I’m not sure they are meant to go that long!

Ring your GP and get a prescription for lactulose and I would also give baby a bit of water. Over 6 months it doesn’t need to be boiled, straight out the tap is fine.
