How does starting solid foods affect a baby's bowel movements?

2y ago

Solid food is not as easily digestible and absorbable as milk, hence it changes the consistency and volume of faeces, making it more firm and bulky. This in turn can slow down bowel movements. If the baby's diet is poor in fibre, then that slows down the transit through the gut even more and end up being constipated.
