Hi all,
DD is 6.5 months old and is now eating solids 3 times a day. She takes around 20 - 25 oz milk. We BF twice a day in the morning and in the evening and she gets 3 bottles at daycare then one bottle for DF. I rarely have to supplement with formula and if I do then it is only about 2-4 oz a day mixed to the EBM. She has been having issued with constipation since we had to start supplementing with formula but only very occasionally and for short periods then she would be back to normal. However, now she has been having major issues with it and for extended periods of times. I have read a lot of resources about constipation and make sure her solid diet does not include apples, bananas, rice, carrots or squash. We do wholegrain cereal and even of that just a few tablespoon-fulls a day mixed to fruits. We do a lot of pears, peaches prunes, green beans and peas, which all should be laxative. But no result her poos just keep getting harder and she is in a lot of discomfort due to that. I also tried to get her to drink more fluids by introducing a sippy with water or watered down juice but she is not interested and does not seem to like any other fluids than milk. She is not interested to increase her milk intake either. She just won't nurse more often or drink more no matter what. I am at a loss because with my first one we never had anything like this. Any advice?
