Mom of a 4 yr 10 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

my baby is 6.5 months old, i have started giving her semi solids since 12-15days (grinding cooked rice in form of paste, ragi porridge and in fruits she eats only papaya, muskmelon) she is constipated and does pass hard stools alternate days since we started solids, she had to put efforts to pass poop. We are giving 1ml gastica drops since 7 days. How to make her stools soft & relive her from constipation?

A. it is very important to see if there is any particular type of diet which is causing constipation in the child and that died should be avoided and kindly give plenty of water and fibre diet can be introduced with the help of cereals and pulses and you can give banana papaya which also helps in decreasing constipation and kindly give plenty of water which will again help in decreasing the problem
