Feeding: Some baby foods are more constipating-apples, bananas, sweet potatoes. Other foods like peaches, pears, prunes are more loosening. Extra water in your babies diet is also helpful to soften stools. Dilute juices are also good but usually not before 6 months of age.

Hi doctor. My baby is just over 4 months old. She is not drinking much of breast milk nor formula milk nowadays. However, she seems interested in food we eat. We have started to give her puree food as well like once a day, and she seems to enjoy?
