My girl passes solid poop everyday for a week already and now second week already. I gave banana, prune, yoghurt etc. Tried everything. But doesn't seems to ease the situation. Give water after solid food. She still feeds and sleeps as usual. 8months old and on formula. Should I visit doctor or continue to give more water?
As long as it is not constipation I think it is not a worry. Solid poop is natural as they start on solids but when you say solid do u mean it is very very hard and dry? I will try to give lots of water and papaya . Or consider to change milk formula. Constipation must take note. Why I say so is because my gal had constipation problem a month plus back, she will poop about 3-4 days once and even if she does poop every other day the poop is so hard she will strain. I did not think of giving her any Med. But she had UTI two weeks ago. I feel hygiene wise we already did our best to change diapers regularly and when she poops I usually open out her diaper for her to poop so her butt isn't dirty too. There isn't wiping to the front. I read that constipation can increase risk of UTI as it affects the bladder.
Read moreSolid but what is the consistency? Cos yeah if she has started on solids, stool will also solidify. Bananas harden stool too so maybe that's it. If you give the juice version of prunes etc, go easy, babies may not want water when they grow up on juices. (and gotta think about sugar) :) Some solutions here for constipation: https://sg.theasianparent.com/homemade-remedies-treat-babys-constipation/
Read moreDoes she strain when passing poo? Is there blood? Does the poo look like pellets? If your answer is no to the above, then it might be just normal solid poo because she has started on solid foods. Be careful in giving supplemental water though. And if she is really constipated (as described above) you might want to change formula. And also, banana may give hard stools to some babies.
Read moremay i ask whats the issue? She is on solid and naturally, her poo will be hardened. She seems good leh... poo daily, able to eat and poo well. Personally, there is no concern. Once a child starts to eat solid food, poo will be hardened. However, if u r still concerned, you might want to consult PD but else, I think she is doing well.

Eating lots of high fiber food like oats and sweet potatoes and also taking vco helps my child with constipation. Definitely your own mummies' instinct if you think she needs to visit a doctor.
Actually banana isn't a gd fruit for easy poo.. it's better only for diarrhoea.. try avocado or adding some Vco to baby's food.. so far my boy max 1 day wo poo and he is 14 mths old nw..
Is she having sufficient wet/soiled diapers? Does she look in pain when she's passing motion? If you sense abnormalities, it's best to seek a doctor advice
Drink more water ba. Just a guess its the formula milk? Anyway solid if she is not in pain its okie.
Avoid BRAT food (bananas, rice, apple purée, and toast). They cause constipation.
