Weaning and constipation
Has anyone got any good ideas for foods that help to beat constipation? My eight month old has, in the past week, really started to take to solids, but now that she's eating more and breastfeeding less, she's really struggling to poo. She eats lots of fruit and is okay at drinking water; any other top tips to share? Thanks! Lucy

Hi, my lg has problems with constipation, I've had soooo much advice its unbelievable!! Breast milk is a natural laxative. Apparerently very diluted orange juice helps very well, water, apple juice diluted can help although eating apple/banana too much can have the oppisite affect, fruit/ veg purrees, pears or apricot especially, lots of fluids, anything you can get in, wheat-a-bix helps, water with a little demerera sugar in. Just do what you can n keep an eye on her and she should adjust, if not go see your dr, mine tried the more natural approach 1st, My lg was given supossertries, temp soulition, then lactulose but she's now on movicol and senna until she sees a dr at the hospital. I hope all goes well for you both
