Hi mummies, how do I tell if my baby is having constipation? Is there anything to take note when adding solids to baby's diet to reduce the chance of constipation

Small, hard, ball-like stools may be signs of constipation. Baby may also be showing persistent discomfort when moving her bowels. It could be due to milk (or other diary products) in your child’s diet. Here are some simple suggestions you can try to help ease constipation: - Giving your baby more fluid (you can try giving small amounts of diluted prune juice) - Wiggle your baby's legs in a gentle pedaling motion while he/she is lying on his/her back. - Gently but firmly massage your baby’s belly (below the navel). If you feel a firm area, keep a steady pressure there for a few moments.

Signs like crying as feeling discomfort or having diffculty to pass motion, fewer bowel movement than usual and hard stool. Good to encourage baby to drink more water, include food like vege and fruits (eg: papaya, banana), prune juice. Also yoghurt helps too if your baby is not allergy to milk products.=)

Adding fruits and vegetables to the diet is important. Drinking enough fluid is equally important. Think if your baby does not poo in 3-4 days, he or she should be considered constipated already. Usually babies will poo almost everyday as the food introduced as easily digest.
