Suggestions for constipation for 8 month old?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My 8 month old has never been very regular, but became even more irregular when he started some homemade baby food. His stool is almost always very hard. I've tried the prunes, tummy massages, and increasing water intake. Any suggestions?

Never been very regular could be food sensitivity or gut flora. What does he eat? BF or formula? Antibiotics?

Bifidobacteria probiotics to start with will get him regular.

My first idea would be to drop solids and just nurse.

good luck!
