Consistently Constipated

[eva026]

I used to make Poop Cubes

Love the name, lol.
We did sth similar, stewed pruned and pears. It takes 2 min to make in the microwave so I just made sure DD got some every day. Didn't even bother freezing.
On bad poop days we stay away from rice, apple sauce, cooked carrots and banana. Only brown bread and whole grain pasta, that and the "poop cube" keeps her pretty regular.

I LOVE the poop cube idea that's awesome.  I guess I should invest in a blender. I've gotten away with just a small food processor but I think it's time.  He seems to Love Prune puree will eat it right up and he likes cooked pear. I didn't realize that apple could cause constipation but now that I think of the BRAT concept that makes sense. I've been giving him apple/chicken puree a lot. I'll lay off it for a bit.

Just be careful with apricots - not a good friend of most refluxers

Thanks, i havent done apricots at all because of it. thought I'd wait till weaning the meds. So We're on day 8 I think of no AM meds. He's much harder to burp and wont sit still for me to do it but I think that might be behavioral. He's drinking 6pz and then refuses more even after burping so not reflux i dont think. Doesnt seem to bother him at solids time or his afternoon bottle?
