My baby is 1month and 17 days old. He did not pass stool for the last 3 days. he is breastfed and also given formula milk. he is passing gases with pain but not passing stool. I am giving him colicaid drops as prescribed by the dr. but still he is having pain in stomach. what should I do to make him pass stool?

A. Constipation in Babies less than 1 year is very common and more in formula fed babies and also when initially the semi solid food has been started after 6 months . you can give bonnisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of aghuge .h Medications are required but it should be given only in medical supervision .
