A. hello mam, as your child is 7 months old ,you can try some home made remedies to cure constipation: give fiber rich food like sweet potatoes,fruits like pear,papaya,plum etc.. give massage with different techniques : massage on stomach in clock wise direction with firm hands . Slowly walk your fingertips on lower part of abdomen from one side to other side direction. Draw an oval with your fingertips below your child's belly button .
