Causes of baby constipation?

Baby constipation can stem from several basic causes. The most common is low-fiber diet and insufficient fluid intake, especially during the transition to solid foods. While constipation is rare in breastfed babies, improper formula preparation or formula that doesn't suit the baby can contribute. Insufficient daily fluid intake—breast milk, formula, or water—also hardens stools. Less common but important causes to watch for include illness (which can also cause diarrhea), thyroid dysfunction, or rarely congenital intestinal structure problems. If constipation lasts more than two weeks or if your baby's weight gain has slowed, I strongly recommend consulting a pediatrician.
