A member asked:
I started my 5 month old on oatmeal with banana. she is now constipated - is there a better food to start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is the stool hard?: If the stool is hard, you have a diagnosis of "constipation." you may offer a fruit other than banana (prunes, apricots, pears) to mix in with the cereal. You may also offer a more diluted cereal with breastmilk or formula.
