He has had trouble with constipation since starting solids but all he needs to keep things moving is 1 just prunes pouch every other day (I buy then in bulk from Amazon, Plum Organics but the Gerber plastic tubs work too). His Ped is happy with this solution. We add in extra prunes anytime the poo starts to hold it's shape, so we don't get to the rabbit poop stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-and-many-many-poops#post-2499455 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:55:58 +0000 autumnlove 2499455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has several large poops a day! She is 7 months and really enjoying solids.</p> <p>I would be concerned about the poops if they look dry and pellet like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-and-many-many-poops#post-2499411 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:37:33 +0000 Aria 2499411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really struggled with constipation right around the same time. If the poop isn't hard and he isn't straining to go, I wouldn't be too concerned yet. Some things that really helped us were starting probiotics and not just increasing the p foods, but also decreasing starches including banana and sweet potato. We couldn't give her banana for months because just one bite would back her up. Thankfully she's out grown it now and can eat whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-and-many-many-poops#post-2499368 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:09:24 +0000 Corduroy 2499368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-and-many-many-poops#post-2498923 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 21:33:38 +0000 Corduroy 2498923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 months and has been ramping up solids big time. I'm still BFing 3x a day and he's getting 10oz of pumped milk at daycare. </p> <p>For the last two weeks he's been making 6-7 very small poops per day. They are play doh texture. It's making his butt really sore because it's hard to notice when he goes. </p> <p>I've been treating it like he is constipated because I remember reading a lot of small poops can indicate constipation. Prunes cleared him out once but the small poops have continued despite keeping a lot of prunes, pears, beans &amp; lentils in his diet. We're also encouraging water but he hasn't quite caught on yet. He's only successfully drank water from a bottle cap not a bottle or soppy cup. </p> <p>Does it sound like constipation? How hard is a hard poop? What else might it be? Or is this many poops still within normal range?</p> <p>I think he had HFM right before this started. I assume it's unrelated but he still spots on his thighs that I see when I change him so the two are somewhat linked in my mind. The HFM did cut down his BM intake significantly and we haven't recovered that supply. </p>
