Constipation and Starting Solid Foods: Simple Remedies for Your Baby

from Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro · host Katie Ferraro

#28: Starting solid foods is exciting… but what happens when your baby gets backed up? In this episode, I’m breaking down why constipation happens when babies start eating solid foods, which foods might be making it worse, and — most importantly — safe, simple remedies to help get things moving again. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. What are the normal, run of the mill changes you can expect to see in your baby’s poop and how the consistency, frequency and volume of bowel movements change too when you start solid foods 2 The signs and symptoms of constipation, including the difference between problematic constipation that requires an intervention vs. typical, run-of-the mill constipation that will literally work itself out! 3. Safe interventions and treatments you can implement if your baby needs some special foods or suppositories on occasion because of constipation.
