A. whenever you introduce food for the child and it is causing constipation you have to stop that particular food which is causing such problems and try to give food which is more rich in fibre and has got plenty of fluids. it is important to add papaya in the diet which will help in decreasing this problem and also at the same time see that you are not giving any new outside milk which is again known to cause constipation Medicine is txo be given only if instructed by the doctor after examination. give plenty of water to drink. if needed the doctor will give polyethylene glycol which is the first line of medicine for constipation

A. As tge texture of food intake has changed it is normal for the stools to vary accordingly. Include bananas and other fiber rich fruits and vegetables in the babys diet. Always follow the two day gap rule between introducing new foods. If the stools are very hard or the baby is showing discomfort please consult ur doctor.
