A. whenever you introduce food for the child and it is causing constipation you have to stop that particular food which is causing such problems and try to give food which is more rich in fibre and has got plenty of fluids. it is important to add ppapaya in the diet which will help in decreasing this problem and also at the same time see that you are not giving any new ooutside milk which is again known to cause constipation Medicine is to be given only if constructed by the doctor after examination.

A. hii Always nurse or formula feed your baby before you offer her solids. Milk continues to be the primary source of nutrition, and the baby might not eat more than a few bites. Feed the baby the same kind of food for three days before you start on another new food. This allows you to identify allergies that the baby might have, if any. You will need to puree the foods for the first couple of months. Offer your baby sips of water while you feed her. Start with mashed or pureed vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, sponge gourd or ash gourd). Fruit purees like ripe and cooked apple, pear or mashed banana Gluten-free baby cereals You can use a combination of solid food and breastmilk to help them transition to solid food. Give them small amounts no more than a tablespoon at a time. Once they start getting used to the foods, you can start mixing things up such as yoghurt and apple. Purees and mashed foods are the first step towards eating solids.
