Constapation?

So Anjali has been constipated alot these past few days and I feel so bad for her :(

I can see her trying to push and poop and when I change her there is barely any poop but it's harder than normal. I know this might be because she has started to eat baby food and cereal.

What can I give her to help her with the constipation?

My doctor told me the same thing about juice mixed with water. She also said you could even use your fingertip covered with a wipe and just poke in their bum a teeny bit and it should help I guess. I haven't done it....LOL seems weird to me. My friend also said she's used a q-tip with a bit of olive oil on it and it's worked for her.
Try and use some probiotics in her food if you can. I've actually started Brady on cereal this past week and add some into his foods. I was going to wait until he was 6 months but my doc mentioned it and it was my last resort to his fussiness. Turns out I think he was actually hungry this whole time.

Aw im glad shes doing better. I still wanted to let you know what my nurse suggested with my little one was stopped up.  They asked us to use regular purne juice mixed with water. This works right away. Also try taking her temp and that usually helps like a suppository. Since my Peri has started solids and juice shes been doing really well.

Thanks!
I gave her a little apple juice & diluted it. An hour or so later she pooped again.. And it wasn't as hard. I gave her some pears this morning so hopefully it'll help :)

Well maybe you can try giving her baby juice. Just make sure you mix it with water. Birana hasn't had that problem yet but they  have said to try juice. If it gets bad then you def. want to try a suppository. Poor baby, she must be miserable. Also, maybe you should try massaging her tummy. Nothing aggressive, just a little soft massage just to try to get things moving.
