9 month old constipated
Our 9 month old just started "tasting" solid foods about 1 month ago. Well actually it has only been organic sweet potatoes and organic pears. Other than that, she is solely breastfeed. Lately she seems to be straining alot to have a BM and doesn't have much to show for it. :(
Any thoughts/tips?

Is she drinking as much with this hot weather? Often they are so distracted and engaged with the world at that age, they forget to nurse. Maybe offer more?
Here are some other alternatives to consider. http://xploringholisticalternatives.ning.com/forum/topics/constipat...
A lick of probiotics (yogurt or kefir, sauerkraut juice) off your finger might help. But, sounds like she probably just is a bit dry and she'll self-regulate with some extra nursing, imo.
