Baby not pooed

We started first foods last week and for the past 5 days my 6 month old has not pooed. Online it says this can happen but has anyone else had this. She is normally super regular.

I wouldn’t like to say yes or no as my little girl has still been pooping although they’re much firmer in texture! Are you offering water too as that’s meant to help, also seen people saying a little bit of prune juice helps too x

With my first I gave her some of Ella's kitchen's puréed prunes every day for quite a long time which helps keep her regular x

We are on day 9 today, so I took her to the GP who advised to give water with food and prune puree with the normal tummy massage, bicycle legs, etc. She did prescribe some lactulose but to only to give her if straining and uncomfortable, but my girl is very comfortable despite not pooing for 9days 🙈

@Alina Have given her prune puree 2 days in a row and done the bicycle exercise already but haven’t given her water as she is breast feed but I think I’ll give the water ago later. Hope ur little one is ok too. Thanks for the advice all. Xx

Mine is also breastfed, and GP said it's okay to give a little bit of water. I just tried giving her water and she just spat it all out haha I will try again later! Hope you LO is okay otherwise. Maybe take her to get seen if in pain or straining xx

My little girl (who only went every 1-3 days anyway) went about 4 days. Her poos have massively firmed up now and she’s doing a little one every day now
