A. Hello dear It seems like child is having severe constipation problem which is very normal for the child at this age am but still if it is very severe then you can definitely be in touch with your doctor and you can give massage on the stomach of the child in clockwise and anticlockwise position with warm oil do cycling with his legs and give him tummy time. This will help him to pass is so stool properly and if u r a breastfeeding mother, you should definitely take care of your diet as well.
