blueberries and bananas can be extremely constipating. I would avoid those. The best beginner foods are peas, carrots, pears, applesauce and peaches... Rice cereal doesnt cause constipation, it is the added iron in the cereals that cause the constipation.

All the above advice is good. Maybe you could up the amount of water she is drinking with her solids and mix in some baby pear juice that will help.

It can sometimes be harder for b/f babies to deal with solids as they are so used to runny poos.

I know you said you didn't want to introduce sweets but pear, apple & prune puree works a treat for Amelia!! Perhaps you could mix it with some baby rice and give it to her for breakfast?

I wondered about mixing with the breakie actually coz the rice is very bland isn't it.

Yup it can be, plus most breakfast are usually sweet so it wouldn't affect your no sweet things at lunch and dinner time.

And i'm pretty sure she would love it!

Do I sound like a kill joy with the sweet thing??

Jacob LOVES fruit. At start he couldnt have banana's etc as it would cause him to be constipated but now he loves them, mango is good and pears

Purne juice always clears jacobs back log

I tend to offer cereal for breakfast it has to be organix as every other one contains milk products and jacob being lactose intorlant he cant have it. Then i offer fruit for one meal and veg for another. And the evening one i mix with rice to thicken it up so things dont go the other way and he gets the runs (you know yourself if you eat to much fruit and veg gives a dodgey stomach) Sometimes ill give fruit for lunch sometimes for tea i just alernate it

Ive been adding more water in to the veggie dinners which is helping. I think baby rice, sweet potatos and bananas clog Ellie up so ive been avoiding them for now. Ive been using cereals in the morning that you mix with water rather than milk. Shes been fine ok until today she seems to be struggling abit so its a day of fruit puree and water for Ellie lol.

Courtney was doing this yesterday... she makes the funniest faces... but didnt have a poo at all!!

Today she pooed

Courtneys poos have changed loads... she went through a stage of smaller droppings, of what you describe between a mini egg and creme egg!!

But since she has been teething they have become a lot sloppier!!

I think its just her body getting used to the different types of foods...!!

i was going to suggest the prune juice! maybe watered down in a sippy cup. x

When we first started weaning harry his poos went like this too but now they seem to have settled down a bit and he goes once a day..... usually in the bath

and its kind of like paste (tmi!!) he has 2/3meals a day and still loads of BM. Maybe it will settle down naturally once her body gets used to the food more? xx
