Baby cookies have the potential to cause constipation because most contain refined flour and sugar — these are low in fiber and can slow down the intestines. Also, gluten in baby cookies is a new food to a 6-8 month old baby, and some babies' digestion struggles with it.
The safest approach is to test a few days apart and watch your baby's poop. If you see hard, chunky stools lasting more than 3 days, take cookies out for a while and switch to fiber-rich fruits (pears, plums) or vegetable purees for consistency. If constipation continues, check with your pediatrician.
