A. initially I was under the impression that you are child is more than 6 months of age but after that I had again posted the answer for your child who is less than 6 months of age. the child is definitely having hard stools to the formula milk so it is advisable that you should change the brand of formula milk after consulting your doctor then only the problem will resolve

A. neopeptine drops will only help slightly and you can give 0.5 ml twice daily but you have to remove the main cause

A. normally hardness of the stool is not seen when you are giving only breastfeeding to the child. it is advisable to continue only breastfeeding and nothing else till completion of 6 months of age. if still the hard stool continues you have to visit the doctor to find the cause. but if you are giving formula milk then there is a possibility that the milk is not properly digested by the child and you will have to change the brand of formula milk. it is very likely that you are giving formula milk so kindly change the brand of formula milk which is causing constipation

A. Your child is having constipation for which kindly give plenty of water to drink and fibre diet made from cereals pulses vegetables and fruits. Changes in diet has to be made Specially give papaya, banana, oats, fennel seeds water pear, prune, pineapple, resins, plum as it will help in decreasing constipation. Even after that the problem continues kindly meet your doctor for constipation medicine. it is important for you to knowf that the problem of constipation will improve with increasing age of the child. You may cincrease or decrease the dosage of constipation medicine if needed according to the consistency of the stool.
