constipation in babies is quite common..

Give lots and lots of fibre rich foods. give more of green leafy vegetables and fruits.  give pear fruit.  give boiled corn regularly. give more water. avoid too much sugary stuff and maida biscuits.

If your baby has completed 6 months of age then you can soak a few raisins in the water in the night. In the morning just give a few teaspoons of the raisin water to the baby.this helps relieve constipation.

there is a drink called Ovaltine that you can make by mixing with milk. its chocolate flavour. just like bournvita or boost. If your baby has completed 2 years give that regularly for a few days. all these helped my son when he had severe constipation.
