A. Hello dear parent! Any change in the diet will have a little effect on child’s digestion. Try feeding only small quantities like 4 to 5 bites with sips of water in between. As of now stop giving bananas and continue breastfeeding. After a couple of days try giving easily digestible homemade foods like ragi, homemade Cerelac, daal or chaaval paani in small quantities. Try applying pure coconut oil to your child’s anus. Speak to your doctor for further advice.
