hi...Dehydration can lead to a serious case of constipation in infants. Therefore, keep your baby hydrated through breast milk, water, and fruit juices.

If your baby has just started with solid foods, make sure to give him enough of fibrous foods such as whole-grain cereals/bread, pulses, beans, etc.

Help your baby exercise to stimulate his bowel movements – the cycling exercise, which will have your baby on his back while you move his legs to and fro in a cycling motion, is quite effective.

Massaging your baby’s belly gently can ease constipation.

If the doctor gives you the go-ahead, include prune juice in your baby’s everyday diet in order to soften his stools.
