A. Constipation in Babies less than 6 months is very common and more in formula fed babies. you can give bonnccisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age

A. Hello Mom If your baby is putting pressure it doesn’t mean that your baby is having gastric issues. Because some babies put pressure while passing stool and it is quite normal. So you should not worry about it at all. And if your baby is having any sort of gastric issues then you can apply Babyhug tummy roll on it will help baby to pass gas and give relief in pain
