Poo

Even now pips has to have fresh orange juice every day otherwise she gets a bit constipated. When she was tiny we diluted it with water xx

Is his diet too adult for his little system or do some babies just have firmer poo then others? Help

I would never have thought of that @LynniferT - sounds healthy and well balanced to me sounds exactly like what Rémy eats / ate at that age - he never had a jar of baby food (the smell makes me want to ). I agree it is probably bananna that isn't' helping, thinking about it last summer we had a bit of hard poo (just remembered when making this morning porridge!) and I bought some prune (apple and prune maybe?) puree and mixed that with the porridge - that sorted him out

I will try the orange juice and then look for some apple/prune purée to pop in his breakie then.

Fingers crossed

I've had two constipated kids and found the easiest way to help was smushing those tinned prunes into breakfast cereals and giving natural yogurt with smushed prunes at least once a day as well. I was too lazy to make real fruit purées, but I would sometimes soak dried prunes and smush those instead of tinned ones.

Go slowly though or you could end up with a poo'nami

That is a good idea too!

Well the look on his face when he tasted the orange juice in his cup was hilarious i will persevere!

Until Blaine was 2 he couldn't have more than half a banana or he couldn't poop! Grapes however, more than a handful had the opposite effect!

Rémy is the same! He will now drink cows milk and water but that is it!
