A. Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many where the most important causative factor is decrease intake of fiber rich diet along with lesser fluid intake. some food like junk food mostly containing maida and oily food can aggravate such condition. Here the diet modification should be tried first so encourage fibre diet give fruits and vegetable . Avoid excess of cows or buffalo milk and maida containing food . Medications like lactulose u, milk of magnesia and Pfeg (muout ) powderare used . In emergency situation soap water with finger stimulation in rectal area and glycerine suppository can be tried .

A. Hi mom Less intake of water and fiber food is the reason for constipation. Increase the water intake and fibre rich foods like papaya pear plum prunes carrot dalia spinach beetroot etc in ur baby diet to get relief from constipation. U can give black raisins juice empty stomach in the morning as natural laxative.
