Lo had trouble pooping today. We starte solids for about a month I didn't really know about offering water with them, etc. she hasn't had any problems with pooping until this past Friday. She had a mix of breastfed poop and some a bit more solid, but yesterday she pooped twice and they were both solid. This morning she pooped and it was like a 4 on the Bristol poop scale, but she was crying and looking at me like what the hell is going on?!?? I called our nurses hotline and they told me I could give her 5 oz of water or some pear juice. We got some sippy cups and got some water in her. She's been eating sweet potatoes, peas, and carrots mixed with oatmeal cereal. We are going to start pears tonight.

My question is how long will it take the water or pears to help? I hated to see her cry. Anything else?
