everything elijah has at the moment seems to involve sweet potato, apple or banana! poor little thing is having very stodgy poops, any ideas for good things to keep things moving? (have been giving pears but my minds gone blank - i dont think he's big enough for bran flakes yet!)

lots of fresh fruit and veg but if things start to get clogged up a bit Pure orange juice diluted with water so its very weak (cant remember the ratio)

Prune juice the same too many bananas can cause constipation

thanks! i gave him orange juice last week and it worked really well but i dont want to give it too often - he gets at least 3 different fruit/veg a day plus wholemeal bread a couple of times a week - you would think that would be enough!

maybe its just his system adjusting?

Weetabix? X

oooh good idea, he has only had baby cereals til now and they nearly all seem to be rice!

yes weetabix is good - i bet he will love that. mix it with a bit fruit and its yummy - me and alfie share ha.

orange juice is good. i didnt give him it but then when he was poorly an d had to go to hospitakl they gave him juice to increase his blood sugar levels and he lloved it but now wont drink normal water.i dilute it loads thou so its practically just a drop of juice.

i've started giving Arwyn weetabix for lunch (we're not up for breakfast ) and her poos are tremendous

weetabix, lentils and pears (not all together)

well, weetabix mixed in with one thing a day seems to be working usually with porridge or maybe if he is having pear or rice pudding i crumble a 'bix in and it seems to be going good

dont u find weetabix poohs horrific to clean up? lol

sorry bit random

dried fruit is always good for pooh inducing. you can boil some up and make them into a tasty puree and mix them in with his weetabix - what a pooh maker that would be!

his weetabix poos are actually not bad - nothing compared to explosive bf poop and its better than not pooing haha

oh god not fruit AND weetabix...i only add maybe a third of a bic in not a whole one he eats loads of different fruits too and sometimes a bit of diluted orange but im glad the bix has helped
