This is when many little ones begin to experience baby constipation for the first time. When baby is about 4 to 6 months of age, you can start experimenting with different solid foods. But the good news is that most babies will grow out of it: 50 percent of infants who have CMPI regain tolerance by 12 months, and more than 75 percent will be back on track by age 3. This negative reaction to the protein is what leads to a constipated baby with an upset stomach and other intestinal problems.

When baby has a cow’s milk protein intolerance (CMPI), their immune system sees the milk protein as something bad it needs to fight off (like it would with harmful bacteria or viruses). “The introduction of cow’s milk protein-and an allergy or intolerance to it-is probably the largest contributor to baby constipation,” says Santo Domingo.
