Constipation is a common problem in babies, especially when they are first starting to eat solid foods.
There are a number of foods that can cause constipation in babies, including:
–
Banana
–
Applesauce
–
Cereal
–
Rice
–
White bread
–
Pasta
–
Cheese
–
Yogurt
–
Low-fiber vegetable
It is important to avoid feeding your baby too much of these foods, especially if they are already prone to constipation.
The foods listed above are constipating because they are low in fiber and/or high in fat.
Fiber helps to keep stools soft and moving through the digestive system.
Fat, on the other hand, can slow down digestion and make it more difficult for babies to pass stool.
