ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician2 years agoA. No need to give anything except vitamin D3 drops, if baby is on exclusive breast feed.
Continue with exclusive breast feed ur baby till completing 6months of age.
It will help.
Give vit D 3 drops 400 IU per day till 1yr 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.
