My 6mths old bb has not pooped for 6days. He was 90% bm and 10%fm (friso gold stage2). Drinking 150ml per feed. Each day about 4-5 feeds. He's super active and smile/laugh alot. Tummy is soft and has strong smell for passing out gas. My hubby said he is not having enough thus he fed him fm saying this will make him full compared to bm. But my idea was he is too active thus absorbs pretty much everything he drink. Also chances his digestive system begins to mature thus bowel movement has decrease... Thinking to start solid food tmr. Any idea what to start of with? How much to give? How many time per day?

Six days is a lot. If this becomes regular have to consider to give him more plain water or change formula. Bm babies should pooped more easily. Be careful as constipation can increase risk of UTI which happened to my gal. I changed her milk powder and it became better. If he is on solids can give him some water to drink already. Eating solids can make them constipated as their tummy get used to new diet. Can give fruits starting with P, pear, papaya, plum. For first solids you can try mash avocado or white rice cereal.
