A. For constipation in a 7-month-old baby, consider the following remedies: 1. Hydration: Ensure your baby is drinking enough fluids. Offer water or diluted fruit juices (like apple or pear juice) if recommended by your pediatrician. 2. Dietary Changes: Introduce High-Fiber Foods: Pureed fruits like prunes, pears, or peaches can help. Oatmeal or barley can also be beneficial. Vegetable Purees: Offer pureed peas, spinach, or sweet potatoes, which are good for digestion. 3. Belly Massage: Gently massage your baby's belly in a circular motion to help stimulate bowel movements. 4. Leg Exercises: While your baby is lying down, move their legs in a bicycling motion. This can help relieve gas and promote bowel movements. 5. Warm Bath: A warm bath can relax the baby and sometimes encourage a bowel movement. 6. Check with Your Pediatrician: If constipation persists, consult your pediatrician. They may recommend safe medications or additional dietary adjustments. Always introduce new foods gradually and observe for any reactions.
