A. go slowly all fruits should be boil and then only can give no raw fruits till 10month including banana. Always better to give home made freshly prepared food items only  Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6months of age  After 6months of age u can start with  dal rice water, Moong dal puree Rice kanji  Spinach and dal mash  Tomato soup  mashed fruit  Apple puree  Bloiled mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes  Add 1item every 3rd day  Give 2-3 serve in a day time  Continue breast feed as a main source of food till 9 months of age.   Constipation is quite common in babys less than one year of age No need to worry for this Give tummy times frequently in a day time Do massage everyday and specially tummy massage more. breast Feed ur baby as per demand It will help Burp properly at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp Keep hydration well Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day If baby is feeling discomfort and crying inconsolably then Need to do rectal stimulation, apply some drops of oil over rectal area It will help If it doesn't help then Need rectal glycerine enema Or some laxative for which u need to visit once with pediatrician.
