Hi Mummies, my 7+ month old daughter recently cries whenever she is passing motion. I can see that she is putting in alot of strength to push it out and most likely is experiencing stomach pain while doing so. She started solids since she turned 6 months. But only experiencing difficulty recently. Any way to help her poo with more ease? Feeding her oats and pumpkin puree now. Also breastfeeding.

Since u are still breastfeeding, for immed remedy, u can try taking yakult/vitagen or yoghurt. It helps. On daily basis, give more liq, papaya, prune and dragonfruit helps :) Other than that, u can try probiotics for LO's direct consumption. I am using Biogaia, works every time. But not a long term solution tho. Also, try not to feed apples and bananas during this period. Apples and bananas may cause constipation for some.

alright thank you! i will try!

My gal has the problem too and it was worse when she was on enfamil last time. I switched her to Nan and it got better. Let her drink more water . Eat P fruits like papaya,plum and Pear. Spinach and sweet potato is good too. Try to mash the food before feeding her

Boil some pearl barley water to drink or blend the cooked barley and mixed with either bm or fm (puree texture). Massage gently on the stomach and do leg cycling exercise for ur lo. (1hr before food ard 1-2hrs after food).

thank you!

Prune juice is good but it's sweet so maybe u wana give prune instead. Increase the water intake. If cannot still then increase fiber. Caz if too much fiber intake and not enough water intake will also constipate

sounds like she is badly constipated due to the food. Increase the fibre intake (brocoli) Increase the liquid intake (water) You can also give prune or prune juice.

give her food in the soluble fibre group. and when she is lying down, cycle her legs. this will help bowels move
