A. constipation is commonly seen in children in which diet modification needs to be done like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help you can give Daliya , oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients too. giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana.lactulose or polyethylene glycol iskre of good help, sorbilene is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the secondary option.diet modification is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.

A. Yes To begin with this seems fine to me but I would just like to tell you that when you introduce semisolid food it’s very important for you to balance it with good amount of water and fruits as well because till the time the body is not hydrated it can cause constipation to a child so this is not alright that the child is not passing motion but yes you can increase the water so that will help your child
