My 7.5 month old baby is not pooing very well:-( She used to poo every day - a nice playdoh like consistencey but it has changed to hard little pellets like a goat, and only every three or so days! She is on 3 solid meals a day - Mostly fruit and vege, no wheat, banana, rice, apple or dairy as well as 5 breast feeds and extra water from a cup if she will take it. She grunts a lot but does not seem too distressed - There has not been any crying or blood! I really dont want it to get to the stage where she is distressed - or set up a pattern of not going to the toilet properly and needing medication! She doesnt have any teeth yet - Could this change be linked to teeth coming?? I am very confused. I havent changed anything in her diet and I cant think of any reason she should be constipated! Any ideas?!

Sorry Crinny No ideas but probably a trip to your Gp wouldnt hurt.

Good luck

I'd be keeping an eye on how many wet nappies your DD is having. It could be a sign of dehydration more than constipation. You could dilute some prune juice in water for her to drink but my first point of call would be to your GP to make sure everything is ok.
