Ok, so I didn't realize that starting solids might result in a constipated baby. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Duck">: We started Simon on rice cereal made soupy with breast milk about 4 days ago (he's 6mo next week). He seemed to really be ready to eat and is enjoying the small amounts I give him about 2x a day.<br><br>
Anyway, I'm getting a little nervous as the days go by without a bowel movement. It's now saturday and he hasn't gone since monday, which is a couple days more than normal for him. When does one know if their baby is constipated? He's making straining noises once in a while, but that's not too unusual. Should I be getting worried yet? Is diluted prune juice an ok remedy (I have some organic stuff that's just prune juice with nothing added)?
