Baby Stool

Ever since I got the ok from the pediatrician about my baby eating purées. He hasn’t had any normal stools, he eats fruits and veggies but purées. And I give him such a little tiny amount. But when ever he eats it takes about 3 days for him to be able to poop. He last pooped 5 days ago and he’s been constipated. I’ve given him everything, medicine for stool, prune juice prune puree. I’ve done stool exercises but he only seems to push and no poop sign. He does a lot of pushing and I’m afraid he’ll get like a hemorrhoids. I’ve message his pediatrician but she hasn’t responded. Can anyone else recciment something I can try?

Try a few drops of biogaia

@Tara I’ve tried that, I’ve also tried mylicon. He was taking those since he was a baby and didn’t help. What I did notice helped him a lot was the “mi little one has relief” but rn nothing is working. I’ve noticed he’s always had stool problems since he was a baby. But they did an exam and studies but nothing.

I was thinking just cutting the purées off for 2 or a day but my in laws insist said no because he was use to it now and he doesn’t full with just breast milk.

how old is baby?

your in laws are misinformed. you can totally stop solids for a while. if baby is under a year old then they should be getting all of their nutrition from breast milk right now anyway, so just nurse baby more often and they'll be just fine.

Lots of warm baths with gentle tummy massage. 5 days is not really a concern on its own but if he is straining a lot, there maybe an issue. If you want to stop purées for a few dats then stop purées. Its your baby, not theirs. Try whatever works for you
