Well you could always mix prunes into something else if you don't want to do just prunes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148945 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 09:01:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2148945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: DD1 never had constipation issues. She's always been very regular like daddy LOL! I'm thinking #2 is more like me in that department.</p> <p>@tiramisu: I definitely think part of the problem is we haven't started water yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148834 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 02:33:39 +0000 tiramisu 2148834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to give my DD prunes almost everyday to help with constipation. I also give her yogurt, water and sometimes raspberries. Bananas make my LO constipated but she does enjoy eating it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148815 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 23:55:55 +0000 BoogieBea 2148815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'P' fruits. My daughter had really bad constipation after starting solids. We eventually discovered that kiwis worked the best for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148802 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 22:59:23 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2148802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pears are good. Dd ate a lot of those and never had constipation problems. Grape (usually store bought Apple-grape or something like that.) Green veggies. I think sweet potatoes also have a decent amount of fiber in them. Carrots (not a ton of fiber but I don't think they cause constipation either.)</p> <p>Cooked fruits and veggies general have less fiber than raw. That's part of why applesauce is low fiber. I thought it was the opposite with ripe/in ripe bananas. I do know they have soluble fiber which is less likely to keep things moving.</p> <p>If you google "fiber in xyz" it will usually bring up grams per cup or something like that.</p> <p>Good luck, let us know what works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148798 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 22:47:18 +0000 Grace 2148798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bran cereal. Like the flakes in raisin bran. My LO loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148794 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 22:28:14 +0000 Corduroy 2148794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's the sorbitol in prunes and pears that make them good for constipation. Sorbitol works better than fiber for getting things going. Fiber makes bigger poops but not necessarily easier poops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148774 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 21:53:07 +0000 magnolia 2148774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about oatmeal?<br /> We are starting solids soon so I'm following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148761 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 21:24:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2148761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had an issue with bananas being constipating! Decided to look it up and it's unripe bananas that are constipating. But will keep away from her for now just to be safe.</p> <p>Will try peas tomorrow since I have it. I know beans are super rich in fiber but also gassy so I don't think that will help.</p> <p>@Weagle: interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148749 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:53:02 +0000 Mae 2148749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) for when you have diarrhea? It works to solidify things... so it does the same to babies. Agree with P foods... pears, peaches, prunes, plums, peas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148746 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:49:01 +0000 catomd00 2148746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"P's" make you poop! Prunes, pears, peaches! Stay away from bananas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148738 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:32:32 +0000 Weagle 2148738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Whole apples are but most of the fiber is in the skin. Ounce for ounce, raw apples have something like 2-3x the fiber of applesauce. Some is lost in the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148736 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:26:52 +0000 jhd 2148736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: we did peaches, pears, and prunes to keep things moving. Apple juice can help constipation, but applesauce won't. And bananas can definitely be constipating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148723 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:07:39 +0000 regberadaisy 2148723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: @Weagle: interesting about sweet potatoes! </p> <p>@weagle I thought apples are rich in fiber? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148722 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:07:36 +0000 Freckles 2148722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Applesauce is constipating too, no? Isn't it part of BRAT? I'd go with some yams, pears, peas and peaches? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148721 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:05:58 +0000 Weagle 2148721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Applesauce and bananas are very constipating. We do a lot of pears, prunes, sweet potatoes, and beans to keep things moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148717 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:03:59 +0000 T-Mom 2148717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweet potatoes are high in fiber... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148716 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 20:03:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2148716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bananas really constipated my LO, fyi!</p> <p>Pears and peas work well to keep things... Loose! Also we do prune purée every once and a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fiber-rich-solids#post-2148714 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 19:59:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2148714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a little carried away in my baby's excitement to eat real food! I didn't keep in mind that it might be binding for her to be digesting real food for the first time. She was super constipated and uncomfortable all yesterday. Like a doofus I didn't put two and two together.<br /> Anyway, I'm going to take a step back this week and go a little easier. And remember to offer fiber rich foods at least every other day for a bit.</p> <p>Today I made her applesauce, I've got pears ripening and bananas are a constant. Any other fiber rich foods easily givens to babies? I know prunes are definitely one but we'll save that for an emergency scenario. ;)<br /> Drawing a blank otherwise! </p>
