Hi, My baby is gonna complete 6 months in a week, and I have started with solid foods two weeks ago. She has a habit of passing stools 3 or 5 days once, I wasn't worried when she was only on breastfeeding but now it's been 3 days she didn't pass stool and 3 days ago her stool was hard so I'm worried that it will cause constipation cos she is having solid food. Any suggestions pls ?

dear mommy, the ideal time to start solids would have been around the 7th month. once the baby completes 6 months, you should introduce liquids for about 2 weeks, then semi-solids for about 3-4 weeks and only post that should you start solids. i think you started a little too early. Most babies get this phase when they start solids, as the digestive system goes through a complete change. in order to make sure that she is not too uncomfortable, i suggest keep the quantity less, and follow the 3 day food rule. each time you give her something new, continue for 3 days to see how her body reacts to it. that way, if she is allergic to something, you will know exactly what you gave her. if she doesn't pass stool in 3 to 4 days, please take her to the doc.
