#AskTheExpert sir my daughter is 7 month old,and from the beginning only she is having a problem of constipation (her stool is very hard) she does potty every day.And she weighs only 7 kgs What to do sir,even I have started giving her some solids(like rice,apple purey etc) along with cow milk.

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 cfan give bonnisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age . Medications are required but it should be given oxnly in medical supervision .
