shilpaMom of a 4 yr old child1 Year agoA. Infant constipation often begins when a baby starts eating solid foods. If your baby seems constipated, consider simple changes to your infant's diet: Water or fruit juice. Offer your baby a small amount of water or a daily serving of 100% apple, prune or pear juice in addition to usual feedings. if you are using formula milk, change the brand of formula milk. My Pediatrician recommend me Dexolac with FOS. you can try it
Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. at this age the child should pass stool regularly.
if the consistency is hard and the child is having pain while passing stool it is considered as constipation.
give plenty of water and fibre diet to the child

avoid giving more than 400 ml milk everyday and avoid giving packet and processed foods as well as biscuits and refined food
