Add prunes: Prunes are a wonderful natural laxative for babies. You can buy plain unflavored pitted prunes and puree them. Adjust the amount you give based on how her poop does.

Why the rush: Solids in the first year do not help the baby grow better.Breast milk is an adequate nutrition source, and solids today are primarily a training process to transition them to the table. Apples and bananas are constipating agents. Prunes & pears loosen stools. I'd quit the rush through the list of foods and just keep it simple.
