Constipation can be common when babies start solid foods. High-fiber foods such as pears, prunes, peaches, and oats can help improve digestion. Offering enough fluids and continuing breast milk or formula supports bowel movements. Introducing new foods gradually prevents digestive discomfort. Avoid excessive amounts of low-fiber foods like rice cereal or bananas. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains helps maintain healthy digestion and prevents constipation.
