How many of you have experienced constipation in breastfed babies (exclusivley
breastfed)?  Does anyone have any information in regards to the constipation
being due to some foods that the mother is eating?  Have any of you ever run
into a situation like this where you did suggest that the mom change her diet
and by changing her diet it did clear up the constipation.  Is there any
written documentation about constipation in a breastfed infant being due to
what the mom eats?

By the term constipation I am reffering to dry hard pellet like stools.  I
would love to hear Dr. Jack Newman's feelings on this one.

Thanks,
