[quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice. We gradually switched my 12 month old from formula to milk starting three weeks ago and now she is drinking 100% whole milk. As soon as she started drinking more whole milk than formula, she started getting really constipated. We experimented and found that giving her prunes is really helpful. I settled on giving her two prunes with breakfast and two prunes with dinner. That being said it doesn’t seem to be preventing the issue. Yesterday for example she had super soft poop. But today morning her poop was really hard again. I’d like to get to a point where her poop is back to normal every day. Is this just her body adjusting to whole milk? Should I increase the number of prunes?  What else has worked for you? We have been mixing some water with her milk and slowly plan to decrease the amount of milk she is drinking. But I’m also worried about her water intake in general. She is my third by the way but I didn’t have this issue with the other two! [/quote]
