I'd think zucchini would be the opposite since it's watery? Maybe it's just because he's been eating more, in general?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-978446 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:46:07 +0000 allison 978446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump. I'm so paranoid about constipation! LO is almost 6 months, and I'm dragging my feet with starting him on solids because of it. I was thinking of giving him so banana as a first food, but maybe not now!</p> <p>Anyone's LO have issues with avocado? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-978325 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:11:16 +0000 hilsy85 978325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Banana, apples, and too much dairy...but honestly, I think a lot of his constipation at the beginning was just his system getting used to solids. Now at 9 months, he doesn't have any issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-978317 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:07:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 978317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Banana, she can't have it everyday. Another culprit is a kind of gruel (it's really common here), but this one is gluten, and milk free and nurses keep pushing me to feed it to her but it definitely constipates her BAD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-978288 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:02:07 +0000 lindseykaye 978288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with zucchini but we have had issues with hard poops because she LOVES banana and applesauce. I just try to balance it with pears, prunes and water for now. I think carrot also is a constipation culprit so we limit that just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-978228 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:47:50 +0000 Alivoo01 978228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is still a newborn, but my mommy friends say broccoli is another constipation culprit. No clue on zucchini though. Poor Baby Edelweiss! Constipation is no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-caused-constipation-for-your-lo#post-977769 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:34:10 +0000 edelweiss 977769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6.5 months and we started purees about a month ago. last friday he had pureed zucchini for the first time, and i think it constipated him! he's otherwise EBF and has runny poops, and usually poops every day. on saturday he didn't poop, and on sunday he strained/cried when his poops were much more solid. oh, and stunk. i felt so badly--i didn't think something like zucchini would have that effect!</p> <p>i know apples and bananas can also cause constipation. has anyone had this experience with zucchini? what foods were constipating for your LO? </p>
