Baby Constipation: It is heart breaking!

potty time!

Darling hasn't been pooping for 2 days since we introduced avocado to her :( Her stomach is so visibly bloated.

We've been putting her on potty to encourage her to poop. I decided to skip a day of giving solids temporarily, just to put her tiny tummy out of stress for a while.

Out of desperate, we gave her a capsule of LactoGG which I've been taking. Hoping that'll help soothing her constipation. After taking it in the morning, she finally gave us a stinky bomb in the evening! :D What a relief for us! We decided to continue giving the probiotics.

If you ever encounter this problem, here are some useful guides from wholesomebabyfood.com:

Common Causes of Infant Constipation are:

- Introduction of solid food(s) - breastfed babies may be more prone to constipation when solid foods are introduced. This is because their tiny tummies are used to processing the easily and highly digestible mother's milk

- Diets low in fiber

- Diets of excessive dairy products (yogurt, cheeses, milk)

- Foods such as Bananas, Applesauce, Cereals, Breads, Pasta and White Potatoes may contribute or cause constipation

- A change in diet usually relieves a baby with constipation. The following tips may also help the constipated baby get things "moving".
