A. constipation in small babies is quite commonly seen and is more with babies who are fed with formula milk. Usually constipation of few days is considered as normal in babies below 6 months of age,you can give bonnisan drops 3 times a day to your child will and give frequent feeding, usually medicines or suppositories are avoided in such a case .if baby is having gastric pain you can give collicaid drops.give proper tummy time and burping to avoid gastric trouble. In case of severe constipation of above one week you can gifsmve suppository but only under medical advice.

A. Add this is constipation is normal and if the urine output is proper and your child is taking all the feeding properly without any hassle than that is very good that means there is no issue at all if your child wouldn’t it wouldn’t take feet properly then it is a matter but now it is all normalWrite Your Answer Here
