Dr Phil Kieran: Do I need to change my diet to help my breastfed baby's constipation?

Formula-fed babies tend to all have similar bowel habits going 1-3 times per day. The 'normal range' for breastfed babies however is much more variable.

Constipation is a relatively common issue for babies and more so for formula-fed infants. Formula-fed babies tend to all have similar bowel habits going 1-3 times per day. The 'normal range' for breastfed babies however is much more variable.

My five-month-old baby suffers from constipation even though he’s exclusively breastfed. Do I need to change my diet or will his bowel movements settle down in time?

I think could fill a book on just describing the variation in baby poop and the questions that I get about it.
