Hi my wee girl just loves her solids. She has only had puree apple and pear along with baby rice and either breast milk or water, two cups twice a day, plus breast milk through out the day. She was fine the first few days, but now she seems to be quite squirmy and is constipated. She has passed two really small poo's. Any suggestions?? Or anyone else in the same boat?

Great suggestions thanks, will certainly cut down on the rice and give more fruit, and will go for the themometer thing if it doesn't improve. Cheers. ; )

Lubricate a rectal thermometer with vaseline, then insert it into her rectum. Hold it there for 30 seconds (as if you are taking her temperature). It normally causes them to have a bowel movement within minutes. My son was constipated alot with the rice, but we mixed banana or applesauce in with the rice cereal, and he did not get constipated much after that

Yes! Grace became very constipated with rice cereal . But I wanted to give it to her for about a week or so to make sure she didnt have an allergic reaction to the cereal. Then I started her on oatmeal- and added a little bit of prunes to the morning cereal and she has a BM everyday now.
