A. you should not give any fruit juices to the baby at this stage and continue giving only breast milk to the baby. check for your diet it should be healthy and easy to digest. Till 6 months complete only breastfeeding or formula feed should be given after completing 6 months you should start with water along with Dal water and rice water only in continuation with breast milk after completing 7 months you should start with Semi solid food like vegetable soup for fruits purry and then slowly move on for solid food so that the babies digestion remains good

A. Constipation is normal in this age and you’re not supposed to give anything to eat or drink other than breast or formula feeding before completing the age of six months maybe you started early which is why the constipation could be more severe for the child so avoid that and there is no need to give anything to the child
