Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many where the most important causative factor is decrease intake fiber rich diet along with lesser fluid intake.
some food like junk food hmostly containing maida and oily foofdd can aggravate such condition.
here the diet modification should be tried first followed by medications like lactulose milk of magnesia and muout powder.

If your baby becomes constipated, use whole wheat or barley cereal instead of rice cereal and avoid bananas and sweet potatoes, which are constipating. All the fruits which begin with “P” (prunes, plums, pears, peaches) will help soften your baby's stool, so give them often if your baby is having hard stools.
