A member asked:

My four month old which is formula feed and started on solids hasn't pooped in 4 days going on five. he used to go every other day. he is not fussy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IT HAPPENS: Introduction of a new feeding profile will often change an infants stooling pattern. Solids like applesauce and rice cereal are constipating while something like prune juice, peaches or pears tend to loosen stools. I often just add full strength prune juice to the feeds to push things along.An ounce 1-2X/d will usually do it.
