Relieving Constipation in Babies 4 Months to 12 months + by Changing the Food Diet
Try strained foods that contain high fiber such as:
apricots
prunes
peaches
plums
pears
peas
spinach
In older infants who are just beginning solid foods, you may want to avoid baby foods such as rice cereal, applesauce and bananas as these may aggravate constipation.
Barley or oatmeal cereals, prunes, peaches, plums, apricots and most vegetables are preferred when baby has constipation.

If Your Baby is Constipated, Reverse the BRAT diet
The BRAT diet is used for the treatment of diarrhea in infants - BRAT stands for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast - as these foods help firm up stools.
An easy and natural way to remember how to help alleviate baby's constipation is to cut out the foods that contribute to it - rice cereals, bananas, and applesauce are some of the most binding foods around.
If you ever forget which foods to cut out, remember BRAT and cut out those foods!
