My daughter is 7.5 months old. She's been EBF and started solids at 6 months. Does eating solids change the amount of poops? It seems like she has been backed up the past few days. The last time she 💩 was because I gave her prunes diluted with water in her cup. Should I be concerned?

Yes it definitely does, at least from what I have seen. She used to poop multiple times a day or at least once a day. Since we started solids it's literally every other day sometimes longer but we are pretty regular with every other day now.
And we were in the same path as you EBF, started solids at 6 months. My daughter is 8mo

My daughter is 8 mos, started solids at 6 mos, was EBF until then. For the most part poops every day, on occasion she will go 1 day without pooping. We gave her probiotics in the first few months, mixed in with breast milk, and I plan on starting her up again. I strongly recommend them.

Oh good. Thank you. I was going to call the pediatrician and make an appointment.

Yes it's less overall water they're taking in so their poops get firmer and means it'll happen less often. We've gone a few days without and then it's an explosion👀

Yes! Ebf baby would poop every day and then solids backed her up. I gave her yogurt and upped her water intake. Just get ready cause those 💩 are solidddddd.

it depends on what you're feeding her , fruits help you go veggies help you not go usually

I had her on them as well. I was using the vitamin D + probiotic drops

🤣🤣

the few that she's had have been soft solid

Definitely keeping that in mind. She loves winter squash.

thankfully we had a GI appointment for her and she told me it's very common for babies digestion to change after starting solids so I felt better hearing that
