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

A. Hello dear parent, avoid giving prunes at 6th month of age. Give normal and light diet as of now like moong dal, Khichdi and formula milk etc. Prunes can be given from 7th to 8th month of age. Good luck and take care
