Hi all, I just started my boy on solids 4 days ago. He is 6months and 1 week old and breastfed on demand, taking solids baby led weaning style. I offer him some water along with his solids and so far we have tried broccoli and carrot. Should I be worried if he still hasn't pooped since he started solids?

A slight change in baby's diet would definitely require baby's digestive system to adjust and this is probably why baby has not pooped yet. Don't worry too much about this, once his digestive system has gotten used to the new foods, baby will be pooping as per normal. What you can do is to massage baby's tummy or do "cycling" motions with baby's legs. This will help move things along.
