Yummy Kiwi-Pear purée to ease baby constipation naturally

Introducing solids to your baby and noticing signs of constipation? When babies start solid foods, it’s common for their digestion to slow down, leading to constipation. Their tiny digestive systems are still adjusting, and some foods—like rice cereal and bananas—can make things worse. That’s where fibre-rich, hydrating foods come in!

Baby constipation when weaning? Good foods to help

This kiwi-pear purée is packed with natural enzymes and fibre to help keep your little one’s tummy happy. Kiwi and pear are known for their gentle laxative effects, while avocado adds healthy fats to support digestion. A touch of chia seeds provides extra fiber and omega-3s, making this purée a perfect choice for babies struggling with constipation. Serve fresh or freeze for later—it’s an easy, nourishing way to keep things moving!
