Help 5 month old poop

Your 5-month-old may develop clinginess and anxiety in the presence of anyone other than you. Soothe your infant and experiment with holding your baby while engaging with others. If your infant enjoys bouncing, a baby jumper can be a good investment right now. Additionally, this week, learn how to deal with infant constipation.

Sitting and bouncing
If your infant is sitting independently, remain close by to provide support — even if you provide pillows to cushion a potential fall. While your baby may have mastered the technique of sitting, he may lose interest in remaining upright and topple over.

He can probably also bounce up and down when held, and he may like this exercise. This is a perfect moment to introduce your baby to a baby jumper, which will support him as he jumps and bounces.

Getting your baby used to other people
When you were pregnant, you may have been concerned about your baby's bonding with you. And now you may discover that the two of you are so close that she yells in protest if anybody else approaches - including your boyfriend. When your infant rejects everyone else, it adds to your workload. That is only one reason why acclimating your infant to different people is critical for socialisation.

A robust and enduring attachment is formed via daily interactions, so encourage your partner to assist you with essential baby care duties such as diaper change, bathing, and feeding. One suggestion: Divide baby-care responsibilities so that your partner is responsible for the daily bath or bedtime routine each evening.

Additionally, expose your infant to friends and family. Consider holding your infant while the other person converses and interacts with her. Then give her to the other person while remaining nearby. Eventually, take a small break and return immediately. Rep this step, increasing the duration of your absence.

What causes constipation?

Constipation is uncommon if your baby is exclusively breastfed. Consult your baby's physician if her faeces are difficult, dry, or painful: When accompanied by additional symptoms such as vomiting or an enlarged stomach, this may signal a more severe disease such as a clogged intestine.

If your kid is only on formula, the brand he is consuming may be incompatible with him. Consult your physician about switching brands.

If you introduced rice cereal to your baby's diet as the first step toward solid foods, the cereal itself might be to blame — it is deficient in fibre. Puréed vegetables or fruits such as pears or prunes (not bananas, which are constipating) can be added to rice cereal, or oat or barley cereal can be substituted.
