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

hi
it is normal
no worries
but please avoid giving formulafeeds
give plenty of breastfeeds.
as you are lactating mother, eat easy to digest food.
give massage on daily basis which definitely help to make bowel movement regular
