Baby not pooping.
Today would be day #5 of baby not pooping. He last pooped Monday m. He’s almost 8 months, EBF, with 1-2 solid meals a day (mainly one food at a time puréed since he has excema and I’m ruling out allergies). He has never had constipation issue before. Regular bowel movement daily until maybe 1-2 weeks ago when it switched to every other day or so. We fed him potatoes, pears, oatmeal, raspberries, strawberry, yogurt, salmon, banana pancakes these last few days. Should I do something about it? Maybe prune juice?

u can do prune purée, that's what we give my son when he's having troubles! and lots of pears!
Prune juice or apple juice also
Agree with the others, we’ve done an ounce or so of prune or apple juice
Exact same here. My son was pooping multiple times per day until 6m when we started solids. He’s also been on a probiotic since infancy. He drinks a ton of water but that doesn’t help. I found (homemade) apple sauce works the best to help him poop. He’s still only poops every 2-3 days now.
@Sera Kay ✨ yes, he loves his water. Usually 2-3 oz after meals. He doesn’t look uncomfortable. It’s just unusual for him to go this long
I’m going to try prune and apple sauce. Thank you all 😊

Do you give him water with his meals? If he usually poops more regularly then yes you should do something. Is he in any pain or discomfort?
