Hi all!
My DS2 is nearly 7 mo, we started solids at 5 mo, with a few bites only. As soon as we started, the number of his poops wnet dowb to one a day and it slowly got worse. At a point, about 3 wks ago he was constipated for 5 days and cried at each effort or even when winding gases. So I stopped solids for 3 days (gave him a lot of water and the cooking water of prunes and pear) and in the end a glycerol suppository. He pooped for 2 days, I restarted solids and again he had no poops for 3 days now. When I first started, he tried apples, bananas, prunes, pumpkin, peas, green beans, carrots, potatoes and chicken liver (once only). The second time I gave him only pumpkin and prunes for 3 days and again he's constipated.
So my question is, how long is it normal not to have a poop when they have solids? 3-5 days?
And what should I give him to avoid constipation??? My HV said no to apples, bananas, steamed carrot and potatoes... But it's winter here, so there's not much to get at the market...
Any suggestions would be welcome!
TIA
