POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. No, hard stool in a 6-month, 14-day-old baby is not normal and may indicate constipation, especially after starting solid foods.
Why Is This Happening?
✔ Transition to Solids – The digestive system is adjusting to new foods.
✔ Low Fiber Intake – If baby is eating only rice-based foods, it may cause hard stools.
✔ Less Hydration – If baby is not getting enough breast milk, formula, or water.
✔ Iron Supplements – If your baby is taking iron drops, they can cause constipation.
What Can You Do?
✔ Give More Fluids – Continue breastfeeding or formula and offer small sips of boiled, cooled water.
✔ Include Fiber-Rich Foods – Start mashed fruits like banana, pear, or papaya and veggies like pumpkin or carrots.
✔ Offer Porridge – Instead of only rice, give oats, ragi, or dal khichdi (thin consistency).
✔ Tummy Massage & Bicycle Legs – Helps in digestion and eases stool passage.
🚨 When to See a Doctor?
➡ If baby has blood in stool, is crying while passing stool, or has no motion for more than 3 days.
