In this episode, Laila Helena — naturopath and founder of Oh Healthy Baby — explores why constipation is so common when babies start solids and why the standard advice to “wait it out” or use laxatives may not address the root cause.

She outlines how an immature digestive system, low food diversity, and specific food choices can contribute to constipation, and shares practical strategies for supporting gut motility and stool regularity without relying on medication.

This episode also covers the role of the microbiome, key nutrients, and signs that a deeper investigation may be needed.
