A member asked:
Is it safe to give my 5 months baby some solids? i gave her some apple puree and she is on both breast feeding and formula(nan) but solids caused constipation. what can i do to help her? can i give her 5ml water per meal?

Safe or advised ?: Many infants grew up with early (weeks) solid feeds decades ago when families didn't breast feed & made their own formula. Today with breast feeding & balanced formulas we prefer to wait until they sit & the tongue thrust fades ~ 6 mo. BM or formula has all the fluid they need.
