If baby is not passing stool regularly, include fiber rich foods like oats, dry fruits, beans, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, carrots, peas, puffed rice, etc. alongwith fluids to improve digestion.
Try not to force feed and make eating a fun time. Serve in a kiddie bowl or plate or cup with a straw from brands like Babyhug feeding range and give in different shapes and colors to make it interesting.
