My 5 1/2 month old daughter is in pain when she tries to have a bowel movement. I gave her 4 oz of apple juice yesterday and last night we gave her a small portion of a Glycerin Suppository to try and help her, after about 20-30 mins, she was able to a small bowel movement. She shreeked in pain and wimpered, but passed a very hard, clay-like stool. We have started solids, but only rice cereal and oatmeal cereal, she seems to be starting to teeth as well... Any suggestions on what might help her and what might be causing this? Not sure if it is just the solids or?? Thank you.
