Constipation is quite common in babys less than one year of age

Burp properly at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp

Nandita BaranwalMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hi,
Curd is natural probiotic and easily digestible and I don't think it causes constipation. I am sure some other food is causing this.
I would suggest to use glycerine suppository in case of severe constipation otherwise give more liquid diet to baby and give soaked raisin in the morning. Also you can give phyllium hask esabgol powder in milk or water in night.
