Hi Doc B!

I'm posting here because I can't seem to get into your forum to post. My question deals with my 8 mos old. She's doing much better with eating solids, but since then she's been having what I call poop balls. Not real hard, but very firm. She's cut back on her nursing which I think is normal. I'd say she nurses 5-6 times a day, but not for very long. She usually has 4 oz half water half juice. Do you think her poo is due to not having enough to drink? I know adding solids to the diet will make it different, but I would think her digestive system would have worked it all out by now. Hope that makes sense. Her little bum is red from not having softer stools.

Thanks!!! I

Hi,

I'll check and see what's wrong with the other forum.
It sounds like she got constipated. Drinking more can help but I'd use Miralax for a few days to get her back on track. Sometimes you have to reset their digestive system with a stool softener.

When my kids were that age, we could give them a couple of ounces of prune juice a day and it worked like a charm. Elias now eats a prune a day (yes he loves them) and it keeps him going just great.

Behind every successful man there's a lot u unsuccessful years.
