A. Hello good morning !! After introducing solids also some may constipate due to digestional changes (change of liquid to semi solids).>Don't worry give puriees mashed banana, papaya puriee, steamed and mashed potatoes, carrot, apple pear cures constipation. Do Tummy massage daily, apply warm coconut oil or warm castor oil on baby's tummy and gently massage for 10 minutes in clockwise direction with fingers instead giving suppositories do tummy massage daily.
