solid pooh?

my daughter is exactly the same, she really wimpers when it comes to having a poo. i feel so sorry for her, ive been putting pure apple juice into her water you could try orange as well, they seem to be getting a little softer, but she has not had one today so shes probably constipated now!!!! 
My oldest son was bottlefed and the formula made him terribly constipated most of the time. He's poo's were hard and caused him a lot of discomfort and pain whilst trying to push. I don't know how many times DH and I tried to push his legs back against his tummy to help it come out.
A real shame for them - perhaps you can try to give him a small amount of diluted orange juice every day. That should at least make his poo's a wee bitty softer.

Does Thomas wake for a night feed? That's maybe a good time to warm up the diluted juice - as warm as the milk. That's how we got our son to take it. By the time he realises it's not milk, he's just about finished the juice.... sneaky, but worked. They're usually too sleepy to notice - worth a try!

Damien doesn't and will not drink water, no matter how much I try, but he will take fruit juice or squash (which I know is bad I know!). Try a ready to drink juice for him (I still dilute this though). Damien loves the heinz ready to drink pear one, but will only drink it out of a bottle (again I know this is bad but he just CANNOT use a beaker)
Futuremum, Ella's poo's are the same! very hard lumps, like playdough lol. Occasionally she will do a sloppy poo, but there ususally hard.
She doesnt reall have water, on the odd occasion if she is crying I give her water to settle her and she will take it. Maybe I hould give it her more often include it in her feeding routine. How often do you give your LO's water? and when?
