Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. normally hardness of the stool is not seen when you are giving only breastfeeding to the child.
it is advisable to continue only breastfeeding and nothing else till completion of 6 months of age.
if still the hard stool continues you have to visit the doctor to find the cause.
but if you are giving formula milk then there is a possibility that the milk is not properly digested by the child and you will have to change the brand of formula milk.
also do not give any food to the child except milk at this age.
you can go for formula milk consumption for your child after medical consultation with your dr.
you can go for any brand which is easily digestible by the child but if the child is not able to digest and has colic pain vomiting and loose motion or constipation due to a particular formula milk it is advisable to change the brand.
also if one brand is going on it is advisable to continue the same brand and do not switch to different brands again and again because many times it can lead to digestion problem.
so if a particular brand is well digested kindly continue that particular brand of formula milks
you have to follow demand feeding that is if the child demands smore milk you can gradually increase the quantity .
