A. Constipation in Babies less than 1 year is very common and more in formula fed babies and also when initially the semi solid food has been started after 6 months . you can give vhbonnisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided befovre 1 year of age . Medications are required but it should be given only in medical supervision .

A. Wait for at least 10 days if your child is taking all the feeding is properly and passing sufficient amount of urine there is no need to give any medicine to the child you do not have to insert enema also because constipation is very very normal in this age
