What helps with constipation in a 10-month-old?

Constipation in 10-month-olds usually stems from low fluid intake, low-fiber foods, or digestive changes during the solid food transition. Increasing water intake is the most effective starting point: offer sips of water between meals. Fiber-rich vegetables (broccoli, spinach, carrot) and fruits (pear, prune, apricot—especially as puree or compote) soften stools. Briefly reducing binding foods like banana and apple puree helps. Olive oil (one teaspoon mixed into food) acts as a natural lubricant. If baby recently started solids, adding small amounts of whole grain rice or bulgur to vegetable broth can help. If constipation lasts 3 days, baby cries while straining, or blood appears in stool, consult your pediatrician immediately.
