It makes sense that there might be digestive issues when introducing any new foods. As long as it doesn’t last too long, and they are able “to go” eventually I wouldn’t be too worried. Breast milk (and formula) are so easily digested that introducing new foods will take some adjustments. I didn’t notice anything with my own girl… but she has had periods of slight constipation throughout her life. It could be the food, a little bug, or a number of things. Keep an eye on it, but as long as they still seem happy and their bowels come around eventually it should be fine.

One thing I was wondering is, have you dealt with constipation when starting BLW? I had another mom who’s son is 7 weeks younger than mine ask me the same thing the other day. It seems that both of our babies were constipated once they really started eating solids on a daily basis. We are both doing essentially the same diet for our babies with the exception that she hasn’t introduced meat but gives beans occasionally. I don’t think she has given him eggs yet, and she offers more fruit.

When it happened to my little man I wasn’t too worried, he just had to work harder at it for a couple days and things have gone back to normal. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
