A. 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.

A. Its Just dehydration which is very common with kids are this is because they do not have too much of water and all which is why they suffered with constipation so you should give papaya to the child every day that’s one of the best things to deal with what is the patient on a regular basis and also tummy time is good if you want you can continue with that
