My baby girl is about to be 6 months old next week, she is breastfed and we started to introduce solids very slowly. Its been now over 5 days and no poop. She would strain a lot and try to push then scream/cry. Ive tried gas drops, gripe water, and apple juice and nothing is working. Any moms have any other ideas?
RECTAL STIMULATION: Put a glob of lubricant on a rectal thermometer or Q-Tip. Insert the tip a quarter to half inch into the rectum, give a little twist, and pull back out. Often, this will stimulate a bowel movement within a minute or two.
yep, she will go almost immediately....does not hurt her

Her normal was once a day, yellowish in color and a little loose and smelt like butter popcorn. She was exclusive breast until we started giving her solids for one meal.

How often was she pooping before you started solids? What solids has she had?
Oops I forgot to add in what solids. She had sweet potatoes ,avocados (both were fresh and pureed at home), pears (jar), and for the last 2 nights we gave her turkey and rice (jar).
