A. Hi You can wait for some time. sometimes babies may pass stool many times a day sometimes babies many nit pass stool for days together. so it is fine. do not worry start complementary foods after completion of 6 months only

A. It Doesn’t mean that you have to start giving semisolid food it’s just that your child is not passing motion which is normal at this age but if it has been almost 10 days you should consult your doctor ones they’ll advise you with the medicine you should put into the anus of your child after that your child will easily pass motion
