#asktheexpert My baby is 7.5 months old. After starting solids, he poops 4-5 times a day. During the morning time he strains while pooping. Other times he doesn’t strain much. Is it normal or something to be concerned about?

A. Hello my dear parent! Keep giving sips of lukewarm water in between mills. Give one new food at a time, preferably in the morning. Continue with breastfeeding to maintain hydration and nutrition. Speak to your doctor for further guidance in this matter. Good luck and take care.
