We're doing BLW and W has been BF until 6 months, weaning going really well but he does have issues with passing his solid poos!
He's not constipated as such (not hard pellets when he does pass them) but he does struggle and when he went today the first poo was drier than ideal. Even when only being BF he would poo every 3-5 days and today was day 4 for him, but he'd been trying on and off since yesterday to go, poor little man!
Think I need to offer him more water during the day, so was wondering how often everyone else offers it? He has lots of fruit and high fluid foods and never seems dehydrated (clear urine and lots of heavy wet nappies).
I've only been offering it at meal times (in the middle and at the end of the meal, he has 3 solid meals a day now) and he has 3-4 BF a day still but maybe this isn't enough......
