My one year old dd has been pushing very hard lately and her stools are hard as a rock.
Her tush gets so red from pushing it out - yesterday I think I even saw some blood. I put tons of cream. She made more since then (no blood, thank Gd) and today she had a mixed bowel movement of liquidy-ish and a hard one all in the same diaper.
She is on cows milk and a pretty regular diet, and I breastfeed twice a day too.
Is rock hard bad? I feel bad just because she struggles to push it out....it hurts her.

Thanks - she hated prune juice when I tried it. I tried applesauce she wouldnt eat more than a bite. Bananas she liked though but I think they are known to be constipating...
She doesnt drink water ever. Its breastmilk then a milk bottle then another milk bottle then breastmilk then a milk bottle as her liquids for the day.
Could that be why perhaps?

I would NOT do sugar water...that will feed the stools...the bad bacteria and make it worse... I would give Orange juice warmed mixed with a pinch of sea salt and give it to her several times...and water down the juice so its not too sweet.
