#AskTheExpert Hello, my baby who is 1 month and 7 days old has not pooped for 4 days, and he is not showing any discomfort as well. He has been pooping once I. 2 or 3 days for the time of birth. Is it normal ? (my first child used to poop everyday from birth) is there anything I can do as home remedy?

A. Constipation in Babies less than 1 year is very common and more in formula fed babies and also when initially the semi solid food has been started after 6 months . you can give bonnisan drops and some enzymef preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and gcow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age . Medications are required but it should be given only in medical supervision .
