A. yes you can give harad to your baby but in very small quantity with breast milk
Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children5 years ago
A. hii...pls do not give it now as your baby is too young ...you may give it after 6 months. babies may pass stool 4 to 5 times a day to no stool for 5 to 7 days. both cases are common in young babies. Constipation is rare in breastfed babies, so do not worry. As long as our baby is passing gas frequently, passes urine 8 to 10 times in a day, is active and playful then do not worry about motion.
