If she is getting cranky, you need to reduce solids for now. Consistency is very important. It should be semisolid consistency which is just pouring from the spoon. Also add fibre in the diet. Add vegetables to make stools bulky.
Try slowly starting from only 1 meal per day.
If there is still discomfort, you can consider a consultant from a pediatrician.

Give more vegetables and fruits . Fibre will add bulk and help in passing stool regularly.
For immediate relief and medication it’s best to consult in person
