| What one must not forget is that breastmilk or formula is still the primary source of nurition for the baby till 1 year of age. And a 6 month old baby needs 600mls of breastmilk everyday. Cutting down on breastmilk or formula just to make it easier for the baby to eat solids is not a good idea. I think you are getting too stressed for no reason. Don't sit for an hour or more trying to force feed your baby, if he is hungry he will eat, or else he will like you said throw up. Constipation can mean that he is not being given enough liquid either water, juice or breastmilk. I would say you are putting too much pressure on his delicate digestive system, he is only 6 months old.
