Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Weaning food can be started from 5-6 months of age and in that initially in the stage 1 you can introduce some semi solid food to the baby like Banana mango plum boiled Apple and then gradually you can start with some Puri of carrot potato other foods which can be given are porridge of suji e sabudana can be prepared in breast milk or formula milk.
initially you can start with one or two tsp which can be gradually increased up till at least three meals in a day
Constipation in Babies less than 6 months is very common and more in formula fed babies.
you can give bonnisvfan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age
