Independent Play

No poop for 2 days!

My 6 months old hasn't pooped for 2.5 days now. He started solids a month ago and he was pooping less and less frequently but never went more than a day without a poop and usually he had a massive one. But now it's been 2.5 days. He farts a lot and seems happy but it's freaking me out that he still hasn't pooped. ...

6m old has been quite gassy lately

Maybe it’s his digestive system maturing or maybe cuz we started solids( though he barely eats 1-2 tbsp everyday). He has been passing a lot of gas all day and night and I’m wondering what I can do help? He gets up screaming probably due to the pain or need to pass gas. Any tips to help baby with reducing the gas? ...
