Constipating foods: You will find that rice cereal, bananas and apple sauce are often constipating foods. Loosening foods include juices like apple or prune and various fruits like peaches or prunes. However, breastfed kids can poop a little every feed or once a week. The variation is common. If it is soft when they go it is not constipation.
