A member asked:
How often should a 6 month old have a bowel movement after starting solids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends on how: often the bowel movements were before starting solids and what solids the baby is eating. Rice cereal tends to make babies have fewer bowel movements and some fruits and vegetables may cause more frequent and possibly looser bowel movements. If you still have questions, please discuss with your baby's pediatrician.
