hi ladies,
I know it's not a nice subject but I've had my son on solids twice a day now for almost 2 weeks and lately he's had a hard time trying to pooh. I'm not sure if he's constipated or if it's just hurting him now? Is there anything I can give him to help him out?
thanks so much ladies,

Yup, papaya. Just used it for my 6 month old DD. But the poop that emerged afterwards was not for the faint-hearted.

well, is it just more solid (so completely normal with the change in diet) or is he actually not going at all (constipated)? If it's still normally formed (ie not pellets), then it's fine... if it's pellets, try upping the water in his diet... if he's constipated, try upping his liquid intake and the fiber.
