A. hi usually it is normal among young babies to pass stool once in 7 days or 10 times in a day so don't worry. but if your child feels constipated then stop introducing new food. keep an eye on your child's diet and remove the food which causes it. please keep Breastfeeding your child as per his or her needs. give massage to your child daily give massage on stomach in clockwise direction with firm hands. move your child's legs in cycling motion it will help to ease bowel movements maintain good hygiene
