Constipated baby!

[Stefka]

My DS who is just over five months is constipated. We have started weaning - just been giving him a wee bit of sweet potato mainly, and today he had a wee bit of bannana. He's really enjoying the food but he hasn't done a poo for days!

What can I do to help? Is he too young to have water?

Give him cooled boiled water.

freshly cooled boiled water may help to move things a little bit.

No need now - he just did the biggest poo ever!

hooray
also cut back on the banana when he's bunged up - now dd is a bit older I balance banana with prunes!!
